Danish to English & English to Danish Translation
We provide professional Danish translation in both directions for official, immigration, academic, legal, personal and business purposes.

Common requests include civil certificates, criminal-record documents, academic records, court documents and company records.

English documents can be translated into Danish for administrative, academic, legal, technical, corporate and professional purposes.
The intended audience and receiving institution should be identified where these affect terminology, certification or formatting.

Certified Danish Translation
Danish certificates and official records may require certified, sworn, notarised or another formally accepted form of translation depending on the receiving authority and country.
Certification requirements depend on where the document is going
Requirements for a Danish translation submitted in South Africa may differ from those applied by an authority, embassy, university, court or other institution in Denmark or elsewhere.
A translation prepared for one jurisdiction should therefore not automatically be assumed to satisfy every authority internationally.
Translation, apostille, authentication and legalisation are separate processes.
Tell us where the translation will be submitted and send us any instructions provided by the receiving authority.
Already Have the Danish Document?
Send us a clear scan or photograph of every page and tell us where the translation will be submitted. We can assess the document and provide a quotation.
Danish Names, Æ, Ø, Å & Official Terminology
Danish uses the Latin alphabet with three additional letters: æ, ø and å. These characters form part of normal Danish spelling and can be important in names, places and official records.
Personal & Place Names
Danish names, addresses, municipalities and institutional titles should be reproduced carefully from the source document.
Where an official passport or identity document provides a form used internationally, supplying it can help maintain consistency.
Æ, Ø and Å Matter
The letters æ, ø and å should not simply be removed from source-language names or terminology.
If an authority or passport uses an established international rendering, that form can also be considered where appropriate.
Danish Documents for South African, EU & International Use
Danish is the national language of Denmark and is used extensively in Danish civil, academic, legal, government and commercial documents.
Danish-Issued Documents
Civil, criminal-record, academic, legal and corporate documents may contain terminology specific to the Danish authority or institution that issued them.
Send the complete record, including stamps, annotations and additional pages where applicable.
Greenland & Faroe Islands
Documents connected with Greenland or the Faroe Islands should not automatically be assumed to be Danish-only. Greenlandic or Faroese may also appear depending on the document and issuing authority.
Send the complete document so that all languages present can be identified correctly.
Danish, Norwegian & Swedish Are Separate Languages
The Scandinavian languages are related, but Danish, Norwegian and Swedish are separate standard languages and should be identified correctly for professional translation.
Danish
Danish is the language required for documents issued in Danish and for Danish-language professional communication.
Norwegian
Norwegian is a separate language with its own written standards. A Norwegian document should not automatically be treated as Danish.
Swedish
Swedish is also a distinct language despite similarities in vocabulary and grammar across Scandinavia.
