Polish translation and sworn translation
Documents for residence permits, work and study in Poland, and Polish documents for submission in Ukraine.
How we work
Polish comes with one particularity worth knowing before ordering: Polish institutions accept translations only from a sworn translator (tłumacz przysięgły) entered in the register of the Ministry of Justice of the Republic of Poland. A Ukrainian notarised translation is usually not accepted there. So the first question is where the document is going: to a Polish institution — a sworn translation is required; a Polish document being submitted in Ukraine — the usual Ukrainian procedure with notarial certification applies.

Frequently asked questions
How does a sworn translation differ from a notarised one?
A sworn translator in Poland holds state authority: they certify the translation with their own seal and carry responsibility for it, with no notary involved. In Ukraine, by contrast, the translator's signature is certified by a notary. These are different procedures and one cannot substitute for the other.
I need a sworn translation — can you provide it?
It depends on the direction of submission. For documents going to Polish institutions a translator from the Polish register is required, and a manager will confirm availability for your language pair and deadline. For the reverse direction, where a Polish document is submitted in Ukraine, the ordinary Ukrainian procedure applies.
Does a document for Poland need an apostille?
Often yes — Poland is party to the Hague Convention. But the requirement depends on the type of document and on the institution: some accept documents without one. We check this before starting.
