What is a sworn interpreter?

A sworn interpreter has taken the oath and is listed in the national register of sworn translators and interpreters kept by the FPS Justice. Notaries, municipalities and courts ask for a sworn interpreter when someone does not master the language of the deed or the proceedings. That way it is established that everything was conveyed completely and correctly, and you know what you are signing.

Frequently asked questions

When do I need a sworn interpreter?

Usually when an official body requires one: the notary for a deed, the registrar for a wedding, or a court. If in doubt, check with the body itself; we are happy to help.

What does a sworn interpreter cost?

The price depends on the language combination, the duration, the location and the time of the appointment. You always receive a tailored quote in advance.

How far ahead should I book an interpreter?

The sooner the better: ideally at least a week before the appointment. For an urgent appointment we can often find an interpreter sooner; please call us in that case.
