Urgent certified translations by court interpreters
When you need to submit an official document in a short time, send us a legible scan or photo of all pages. After the review, we will confirm the language combination, the price, the realistic deadline, the availability of an authorized court interpreter and the method of delivery of the certified original.
For certain very short and legible documents, in available language combinations, an urgent certified translation can be made within one hour. For other smaller documents, it is possible to confirm the deadline of the same working day. This depends on the language, scope, complexity, time of receipt and availability of a court interpreter; we always confirm the deadline before starting work.
Document today. No unnecessary waiting.
For shorter and clearly legible documents in available language combinations, we organize an emergency certified translation within one hour.
For most simple personal and educational documents we can confirm the same working day deadline if we receive them early enough.
When is a deadline of one hour possible, and when is the same day?
A deadline of one hour is most often realistic for documents with very little text, without complex professional terminology, when a suitable court interpreter is immediately available. The same working day is more often possible for shorter identity documents, educational certificates and simple legal documents received early enough.
The deadline is affected by the number of pages, legibility, handwritten notes, stamps, tables, language combination and the need for a physically certified original. If the requested deadline is not feasible, we suggest the first realistic date before placing the order.
Documents for which production can most often be checked on the same day
For the following short and standardized documents, we can often arrange an emergency certified translation on the same day. We confirm the final deadline after reviewing the document and checking the availability of the court interpreter.
| Document | The possibility of urgent production | More information |
|---|---|---|
| Birth certificate | Often possible the same day for a shorter, readable document | Certified translation of the birth certificate |
| Marriage certificate | Often possible the same day for a shorter, readable document | Certified translation of the marriage certificate |
| Criminal record certificate | Often possible the same day, depending on the language | Certified translation of the criminal record certificate |
| Diploma | Possible the same day if it is shorter and an interpreter is available | Certified translation of the diploma |

Deadlines are confirmed only after reviewing the document and checking the availability of a court interpreter.
For which situations is an emergency certified translation most often required?
Urgent translations are most often needed when applying for a job, enrolling in college, procedures before the Ministry of Interior, exercising rights abroad, preparing documentation for the embassy, concluding a contract or submitting a document to a court, notary public, bank and other institutions.
For official use, a simple translation is often not enough: the institution can ask for a certified translation with the stamp and signature of a court interpreter. If you are not sure whether you need certification, indicate the country and the institution to which you are submitting the document; we will help check what is needed.
How to speed up assessment and construction
- Send all pages of the document in one message.
- Specify the source and target languages.
- Write the exact date and time of submission of the document.
- Specify the institution or country where you will use the translation.
- Write whether you need a digital scan, a physically certified original or both.
- Make sure names, numbers, stamps and edges are clearly visible.
Delivery of an urgent certified translation
Upon completion, we can send a digital scan of the translation by e-mail. A physically certified copy can be picked up by agreement or sent by post or courier service in Croatia and abroad. The delivery time is not part of the translation creation time, so take into account the carrier’s deadline when ordering.
