Translation Agency in Gdansk: Expert Document Assistance in the Tri-City

Gdansk, together with Gdynia and Sopot, forms a unique agglomeration — the Tri-City (Trójmiasto), which has become a new home for tens of thousands of foreigners. It is not only the tourist pearl of the Baltic but also a powerful center of the maritime industry, logistics, and IT sector. People come here to work in the port, study at Gdansk University of Technology or the University of Gdansk, and seek a safe life.

However, legalization in Pomerania has its challenges. Queues at the Pomeranian Voivodeship Office (Pomorski Urząd Wojewódzki), processing documents for work at sea, or admission to universities require impeccable paperwork. "Admiral" Translation Agency in Gdansk offers professional service. We relieve you of the burden of bureaucracy by providing translations that are guaranteed to be accepted by Polish officials and employers.

Which Documents We Translate in Gdansk and Gdynia

The specific nature of the coastal region creates a special demand. In addition to standard requests, we have deep expertise in niche industries relevant to the Baltic.

We work with the following categories:

• Seamen's Documents (Region Specifics): Gdansk and Gdynia are the maritime gates of Poland. We perform professional translation of Seaman's books, service record books, certificates of competency, and contracts for employment in international shipping companies or submission to the Maritime Office (Urząd Morski).

• Legalization of Stay (Karta Pobytu): To submit documents to the inspector on Okopowa Street, you will need translations of birth, marriage, and divorce certificates, police clearance certificates, and bank statements.

• Educational Documents: Admission to the University of Gdansk (Uniwersytet Gdański), Gdansk Tech, or the Maritime University in Gdynia requires translation of diplomas, school certificates, and transcripts. We know the requirements of admissions committees regarding nostrification.

• Legal and Business Documents: Translation of company statutes (Sp. z o.o.), KRS extracts, contracts, and notarial acts for foreign businesses relocating to the coast.

• Technical and Customs Documentation: Given the presence of large ports, we translate invoices, packing lists, customs declarations, and equipment datasheets.

• Medical and Driver's Documents: Translation of driver's licenses for exchange, translation of medical certificates for work (badania lekarskie), and vaccination cards.

We perform document translation in Gdansk in compliance with all terminological standards, which is especially important for maritime and technical documentation.

Translation Specifics in Poland: Tłumacz Przysięgły

Polish bureaucracy requires precision. For state authorities, a "simple translation" has no legal weight.

1. Sworn Translation (Tłumacz przysięgły)

This is a mandatory requirement for the Pomeranian Voivodeship Office, Registry Offices (Urząd Stanu Cywilnego), courts, and most universities. Such a translation is performed by a sworn translator licensed by the Ministry of Justice of Poland. The document is sealed with a special round stamp and signature. Our agency cooperates with experienced sworn translators. Ordering from us, you receive a document that has full legal force throughout Poland.

2. Apostille (Apostille)

Polish institutions often require an Apostille stamp on foreign documents (e.g., diplomas or notarial statements). It confirms the authenticity of the document internationally. We offer a "turnkey" service: if you are in Gdansk and your document needs an Apostille from your home country, we will organize the process and deliver the ready package to you.

3. Standard Translation

Suitable for CVs, websites, personal correspondence, or internal company documents where a sworn translator's seal is not mandatory.

Convenient Online Ordering in the Tri-City

The Tri-City stretches along the sea for almost 30 kilometers. Taking the SKM train from Gdynia-Chylonia to the center of Gdansk or from Sopot to Pruszcz Gdański just to hand over a piece of paper is a waste of time and money. We offer a modern remote service.

How we work:

1. Application: Take a photo or scan the documents. Send them to us via the form on the website, email, or messengers (Telegram, Viber, WhatsApp).

2. Quote: A manager will quickly estimate the volume (especially for complex maritime documents), determine the type of certification, and announce the price.

3. Execution: A professional translator or a Polish sworn specialist fulfills the order.

4. Delivery (Paczkomat InPost):

   • This is the most convenient way. We send finished originals of sworn translations to any Paczkomat in Gdansk, Gdynia, Sopot, or the surrounding areas (Rumia, Reda, Wejherowo).

   • You don't need to adjust to office hours — pick up documents when it suits you.

   • Courier delivery to your address is also available.
