If a court translation is intended for use abroad, or if such a translation requires verification by means of an apostille or superlegalization, it is first necessary to verify the authenticity of the translator who prepared the court translation.
On 27 June 2022, the Ministry of Justice launched a new register of experts, expert offices, and expert institutes, as well as a new register of court interpreters and court translators. These are public administration information systems that will replace the existing register of experts and interpreters and the register of expert institutes.
Apostille or superlegalization of a translation can therefore only be ensured by official (notarial) verification of the translator’s signature on the translation clause, or by obtaining an extract from the information system of court translators and interpreters, which is issued by notaries.
The extract from the list must be certified by a notary or a notary candidate who has been appointed as a representative of a notary, or a notary candidate who has been authorized by a notary to perform legalization and certification in relation to foreign countries. Documents certified and signed by notary secretaries or notary trainees cannot be subsequently certified for use abroad.
