Translation Agency in Slovakia: Official Document Legalization (Online)

Slovakia has become a reliable haven for over 100,000 Ukrainians. Whether you reside in Bratislava, industrial Košice, picturesque Prešov, or a small town in Central Slovakia—the rules for legalization are unified for the entire Republic. The Slovak administrative system is strict, and officials demand adherence to formalities.

Processing temporary asylum (Dočasné útočisko), obtaining a residence permit (Prechodný pobyt), enrolling in a university, or confirming a professional qualification—all these steps require translation into Slovak. But beware: simple printouts have no legal force. State authorities require an official court translation (úradný preklad). "Admiral" Translation Agency works remotely throughout Slovakia. We help you obtain documents with the official court seal without unnecessary travel and queues.

Which Documents We Translate in Slovakia

We know what documentation is required by Slovak institutions for every stage of integration.

1. For the Foreign Police (Cudzinecká polícia)

This is the most critical stage of legalization. For obtaining or extending a residence permit, you will need:

• Court translation of the police clearance certificate (Výpis z registra trestov)—this must be recent.

• Court translation of birth and marriage certificates.

• Documents proving financial stability and accommodation.

2. Education and Nostrification (Nostrifikácia)

Slovakia recognizes foreign education, but the Nostrifikácia procedure is mandatory for students and professionals.

• We perform court translation of school certificates, diplomas, and academic transcripts.

• Translation of curricula and grades for submission to the Ministry of Education or District Authorities (Okresný úrad).

3. Business and Work (Živnosť / Úrad práce)

• Translation of documents for registering a sole proprietorship (Živnostník) or a company (s.r.o.).

• Translation of employment record books and contracts for the Labor Office (Úrad práce).

4. Medical and Insurance

• Translation of vaccination cards for children (needed for schools and kindergartens).

• Translation of medical reports for insurance companies.

Translation Specifics in Slovakia: Úradný preklad

The Slovak system relies on the physical integrity of the document.

1. Court Translation (Úradný preklad)

This is the only type of translation accepted by Slovak state bodies (Police, Registry Offices, Courts, Universities). The Appearance: The translation is physically stitched with a tricolor ribbon (white-blue-red) to the original document or its certified copy. The final page bears the "translator's clause" and a round seal with the Slovak state emblem. We ensure the preparation of documents according to this standard.

2. Important Advice: Certified Copy (Osvedčená kópia)

Since the translation is permanently stitched to the source document, we strongly recommend using a certified copy (osvedčená kópia). Obtain this copy from a Slovak notary (Notár) or at a Registry Office (Matrika). We will stitch the translation to this copy, saving your original diploma or certificate from being physically altered.

3. Apostille (Apostille)

Slovakia requires an Apostille stamp on Ukrainian official documents (especially police clearance certificates). Without the Apostille, the Foreign Police may reject the document. We provide the "turnkey" service: Apostille in Ukraine + Court Translation in Slovakia.
