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

Certified Polish Translation
Polish certificates and other official records may require certified or sworn translation depending on the receiving authority, country and purpose.
South African and Polish requirements are not automatically the same
For documents used in South Africa, the applicable South African certification requirements should be followed.
Poland has its own regulated system of sworn translators, commonly referred to in Polish as a tłumacz przysięgły. A translation prepared under South African requirements should not automatically be assumed to meet a Polish authority's requirement for a Polish sworn translation.
Similarly, requirements of embassies, universities, courts and other institutions can differ.
Tell us exactly where the translation will be submitted and send us any instructions from the receiving authority.
Already Have the Polish 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.
Polish Names, Diacritics & Official Terminology
Polish uses the Latin alphabet together with distinctive letters including ą, ć, ę, ł, ń, ó, ś, ź and ż.
Personal Names & Surnames
Names and surnames should be reproduced carefully from the original document, including Polish characters where they appear.
Where a passport or recognised identity document provides the official form used internationally, supplying it can help maintain consistency across translated records.
Polish Diacritics Matter
Characters such as ł, ą, ę, ś, ź and ż are part of correct Polish spelling and are not merely decorative accents.
This is particularly important in personal names, place names, authorities and institutional titles.
Polish Documents for South African, EU & International Use
Polish is the official language of Poland and an official language of the European Union. The receiving country and authority should always be considered when preparing documents for formal use.
Polish-Issued Documents
Civil, criminal-record, academic, court and company documents may use terminology specific to the Polish authority or institution that issued them.
Send the complete record, including stamps, annotations and reverse pages where applicable.
Receiving Authority Matters
The same Polish document can require different treatment depending on whether it is being submitted in South Africa, Poland or another jurisdiction.
Certification, apostille and legalisation requirements should therefore be confirmed separately.
