Sworn translation & interpreting

Sworn translation and court interpreting in Prague, the full service.

DIDIT delivers sworn (officially recognized) translations in Czech and English and provides interpreters for OAMP, the registry office, notaries and courts in Prague. Our court translator is on retainer, which means same-day turnaround on standard documents and reliable scheduling for interpreting. We also do the boring parts: collecting your original, attaching the apostille if needed, and delivering the bound translation back to you or directly to the office that needs it.

What we need from you

The original document, or a notarised copy.

A sworn translation must be physically bound to either the original or a certified copy. We can arrange the notarised copy if you only have one original you need to keep.

Confirmation of which authority it is for.

OAMP, court, registry, employer, university — each has its own preferences. We use the right format up front.

The deadline.

Standard turnaround is 1–3 business days. Same-day is possible for shorter documents.

Apostille (if from abroad).

Many foreign documents need an apostille from the country of origin before being translated for use in the Czech Republic. We tell you whether yours does.

How we do it

  1. You send a photo or scan.

    Email or WhatsApp. We confirm scope and page count and send you a price estimate within an hour. No commitment.

  2. You bring or send the original.

    Drop by our Prague office, courier it, or — for regular clients — we collect it.

  3. The translator does the work.

    Our court-certified translator translates, certifies, and binds the document to your original or notarised copy with the official seal.

  4. You collect or we deliver.

    Pickup in person, courier, or direct delivery to the authority that requested it — whichever is cleanest for you.

Common questions

What is a sworn translation and when do I need one?

A sworn (úředně ověřený) translation is produced by a translator registered with the Czech Ministry of Justice and physically bound to your original document with an official seal. You need one whenever a Czech authority will see a foreign document — OAMP, courts, registry offices, notaries, the tax office, universities.

How fast can you turn one around?

Same-day for standard single-page documents, 1–3 business days as standard. Our court translator is on retainer, which is how we hit same-day when most agencies quote three days.

Do you need my original document?

Yes — a sworn translation must be bound to either the original or a notarised copy. If you need to keep the original, we can arrange the notarised copy for you and bind the translation to that instead.

Can you deliver the translation directly to the office?

Yes. We can deliver the bound translation straight to OAMP, the registry, the notary or whoever requested it, so you never have to make the trip.

Do you provide interpreters for appointments?

Yes — OAMP, registry offices, notaries and courts in Prague. An appointment usually takes about two hours, including preparation and travel; you pay for the time actually spent. Tell us the date and authority and we confirm availability.

What if my document needs an apostille?

The apostille goes on the foreign original, issued by the country the document came from — not on the translation. We tell you whether yours needs one before you spend anything on translation.
