Certified translations of Czech birth certificates from Czech into English for British authorities

For British authorities, such as registry offices, banks or the Home Office Border Agency, it is usually sufficient if the English translation is bound with a photocopy of the Czech birth certificate and accompanied with the translator’s certificate. This must contain the translator’s declaration and their contact details and information about their professional qualifications and membership of any professional organisations.  Milada Cogginsová Zajíčková the owner of Absolute Czech Translations is a qualified member translator of the Institute of Translation and Interpreting (MITI).

Cerified Translations of Czech birth certificate from Czech into English for authorities in other English speaking countries

If the certified translation of the Czech birth certificate is requested, for example by a registry office in a foreign country in order to conduct a wedding ceremony, in some cases the registrars demand that the Czech birth certificate must be legalised by an apositille issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Czech Republic. In some cases they also insist that the translation must be bound with the original. If the translation is needed for a visa application to Australia, the Australian authorities require that the translator must have a professional membership of some British translation organisation, such as the Institute of Translation and Interpreting. Other authorities demand that the translation must be bound with the translator’s certificate with a verification round stamp with the Czech national emblem.

How to order a certified translation of a Czech birth certificate from Czech into English

1. As all authorities have different requirements, it is recommended that clients should firstly find out the following information:
   1. Is it sufficient to bind the translation with the photocopy of the birth certificate, or does the translation have to be bound with the original Czech birth certificate?
   2. Does the Czech birth certificate need to be first legalised by an apostille stamp issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Czech Republic, or not?
   3. Does the authority prefer if the translator’s certificate contains the verification round stamp with the Czech national emblem, or a membership seal of the British professional organisation The Institute of Translation and Interpreting?
2. Contact Absolute Czech Translations to obtain a quote for the translation and make payment by bank transfer or PayPal.
3. If it is sufficient to bind the translation with a photocopy, please scan the birth certificate and email it to Absolute Czech Translations. If it is necessary to bind the translation with the original, please post the birth certificate as a recorded delivery to:
