Translation Agency in Brno: Reliable Document Legalization in the Student Capital of the Czech Republic

Brno is the dynamic heart of South Moravia, a city of innovation and youth. Thousands of foreigners have chosen Brno not only as a refuge but also as a place to obtain high-quality European education at Masaryk University or VUT, or to work in numerous international IT companies concentrated in the "Czech Silicon Valley".

However, regardless of the purpose of stay — study, work, or temporary protection — life in the Czech Republic is impossible without interacting with official authorities. Queues at the OAMP on Tuřanka Street, submitting applications to the Brno City Magistrate (Magistrát města Brna), or the complex procedure of diploma nostrification require perfectly prepared papers. "Admiral" Translation Agency in Brno offers professional assistance. We know how to turn your documents into papers that will be accepted without objection by Czech officials, saving your time and nerves.

Which Documents We Translate in Brno

The specific nature of Brno as a huge educational and technological hub creates a special demand for translations. We have adapted our services to the most urgent needs of the international community in the South Moravian Region.

We work with the following categories:

• Educational Documents (Nostrification): Brno is a city of students. Admission to Masaryk University (Masarykova univerzita), Brno University of Technology (Vysoké učení technické - VUT), or Mendel University requires the education recognition procedure (nostrifikace). We perform sworn translation of school certificates, diplomas, and transcripts with subjects and hours, which are guaranteed to be accepted by universities and the Regional Authority (Krajský úřad).

• Documents for OAMP (Ministry of the Interior): For extending a visa, obtaining a residence permit (přechodný/trvalý pobyt), or changing employers. We translate birth and marriage certificates, police clearance certificates, and bank statements.

• Business and IT: For foreign entrepreneurs and freelancers opening a trade license (Živnostenský list) or a company in Brno. Translation of contracts, extracts from the Commercial Register, license agreements, and statutes.

• Medical Records: Translation of vaccination cards for children (mandatory for kindergartens and schools), medical reports for insurance companies (VZP, OZP), and employers.

• Technical and Specialized Texts: Given the industrial potential of the region, we translate technical instructions, safety certificates, and manuals.

• Driver's Documents: Translation of driver's licenses for exchange and car documents for registration in the vehicle register.

We perform document translation in Brno from Ukrainian/English/Russian into Czech and vice versa (e.g., translating Czech court decisions or certificates for use abroad).

Sworn Translation (Soudní překlad): The Main Requirement in the Czech Republic

The Czech Republic has strict document management standards. A standard translation, even if high quality, has no legal force for state institutions.

1. Sworn Translation (Soudní překlad)

This is an official translation performed by a translator appointed by the Regional Court (Krajský soud). Such a document has a special look: the translation is stitched with a tricolor string together with the original document or its notarized copy. The end bears a round heraldic seal (kulaté razítko) and the "translator's clause". This exact format is required by:

• Universities (for nostrification).

• OAMP (for visa issues).

• Registry Offices (Matrika) — for marriage or registering newborns. Our agency ensures the execution of exactly sworn translations, which have 100% legitimacy in the Czech Republic.

2. Notarized Copy (Ověřená kopie)

Since the sworn translation is inseparably stitched to the document, we strongly advise against damaging originals (diplomas, birth certificates). Instead, make a certified copy (vidimace) at any Czech POINT branch (available at the post office, magistrate) or at a Czech notary. The translator will stitch the translation to this copy.

3. Apostille (Apostille)

Although for many documents agreements exist waiving the Apostille requirement, exceptions exist (depending on the specific official or purpose). Also, an Apostille is necessary if you plan to use Czech documents in third countries. We help with placing an Apostille stamp in the country of origin and subsequent translation.

How to Order Translation Online in Brno?

Brno is more compact than Prague, but a trip from Bystrc to the center or from Líšeň to the Campus can take a lot of time. We offer you to solve document issues remotely, without leaving your home.

Ordering Process:

1. Send files: Take photos or scan documents. Send them to us via the website form, email, or messengers (Telegram, Viber, WhatsApp).

2. Consultation: A manager will check the documents, clarify if a "court seal" is needed, and advise whether to make a certified copy. We will announce the exact price.

3. Execution: A sworn translator (soudní tlumočník) or a specialized expert performs the work.

4. Delivery (Zásilkovna / Packeta):

   • We cooperate with Zásilkovna. This is the most convenient way to receive finished stitched translations.

   • You choose the nearest branch (Z-BOX or pick-up point) in Brno — whether near the main station (Hlavní nádraží) or in your residential area.

   • Sending via Česká pošta is also possible.

   • Electronic translations (without the round seal) are sent via email.

Important: For a sworn translation, we need the physical document (original or copy). You can send it to us via Zásilkovna, and we will return the finished document the same way.

Advantages of Cooperation with "Admiral" Agency

Why students and workers in Brno choose us:

• Experience in Nostrification: We know the requirements of Masaryk University and the South Moravian Regional Authority (Krajský úřad Jihomoravského kraje) for translating curricula. This minimizes the risk of refusal.

Cost and Turnaround Time

The price depends on the translation type:

1. Sworn Translation: Billed per physical document or volume (normopages).

2. Standard Translation: Cheaper, calculated by word/character count.

3. Complexity: Medical and technical texts may cost slightly more.

Deadlines:

• Electronic translation: 1-2 days.

We always fix the price before starting work.
