Do you need a court interpreter for the Slovak language, a certified translation of a document or a professional translation from Slovak to Croatian or from Croatian to Slovak? Inovatus organizes translations for private individuals, companies and institutions, with prior verification of the purpose of the document, the required type of certification and the deadline. You can submit the document electronically for evaluation before submitting the original.
Slovak and Croatian belong to Slavic languages, but the similarity does not mean that official documents should be translated literally. In documentation for employment, education, business and official procedures, it is important to accurately convey legal and administrative terms and the official names of institutions.
Translation from Slovak to Croatian and from Croatian to Slovak
When a document from Slovakia is used in Croatia, the translation must be comprehensible to the Croatian institution and at the same time faithfully present the information from the original. When a Croatian document goes to Slovakia, the goal is for the translation to be terminologically clear to the recipient and prepared in a form that corresponds to the purpose of the handover. That is why, before starting, we ask for information on where the document is used and, if it exists, instructions from the institution that receives it.
We pay special attention to similar words with different meanings, names of qualifications, companies and public bodies, and diacritical marks. In academic and working documents, the term is translated according to function, and not according to apparent similarity with the Croatian word.
Which documents do we most often translate into Slovak?
The scope is not limited to the above examples, but the most common queries include:
- ✓ birth certificates and official attestations
- ✓ documents for work, residence and employment
- ✓ diplomas, certificates, transcripts and college certificates
- ✓ contracts, powers of attorney, decisions and resolutions
- ✓ Extracts from registers and documentation of commercial companies
- ✓ technical and business documentation
If you have several related documents, please send them together. This helps us keep personal names, institution names, qualifications, case numbers and other recurring details consistent throughout the package.
Certified translation and court interpreter for the Slovak language
A certified translation is prepared by an authorized court interpreter and confirmed by a signature, seal and certification clause. Such a translation is most often required when a document is submitted to a court, administrative body, registry office, police, notary public, educational institution, employer or other organization that requires an official translation.
Not every translation needs to be certified. For internal business use, information, web content or part of professional documentation, an uncertified professional translation may be sufficient. The final request is determined by the body that receives the document, so it is useful to send its instruction together with the document.
Apostille and legalization – check before translation
An apostille or other form of legalisation is not automatically required for every document used in Slovakia or Croatia. The need depends on the issuing country, the type of public document, international rules and the recipient’s request. The order is also important: in some procedures, the document is verified before the translation so that the confirmation is included in the translation. Therefore, before starting, you should check the current instructions of the competent authority.
Business and professional translations into Slovak
For companies, we translate contracts, company documents, technical specifications, offers and web content for the Slovak market. For larger projects, we maintain a uniform terminology between legal, technical and commercial materials.
For documents from law, finance, technology, medicine or other professional fields, we assign translations according to the content and terminological requirements. For larger projects, we recommend that the client submit earlier translations, internal names and other reference documentation, if any.
Price and deadline for Slovak translation
It is not good to determine the price only according to the number of physical pages, because the amount of text and the complexity of the document can vary considerably. The price is influenced by the language direction, the scope of the text, the expertise of the content, the need for certification, the format of the document and the required deadline. For an accurate quote, send a legible scan or photo of all pages and indicate where the translation is used.
If the translation is urgent, we check the availability according to the scope of the document and the availability of a suitable translator or court interpreter. We confirm the deadline and price before starting work.

Frequently asked questions about Slovak translation
Is the original document required for the quote?
As a rule, a legible scan or photo of all pages is sufficient for evaluation. If a specific type of certification or procedure requires inspection of the original, this is agreed upon before it is made.
Will the certified translation be accepted abroad?
Acceptability is determined by the institution that receives the document. That is why we recommend that you check its instructions before ordering and send them to us, especially if they mention Apostille, legalization, original, certified copy or a special type of translation.
Can a translation be ordered remotely?
Yes. You can send the document electronically in order to quote and organize the translation. The method of delivery of the certified original is agreed as necessary: personal pickup, mail or other available delivery.
Do you also do non-certified professional translations?
Yes. If the institution does not require the stamp of a court interpreter, it is possible to create a professional translation for business, technical, informative or other purposes. We adapt the type of translation to the specific use.
