Certified vs. Random: Why It Matters More Than You Think
When it comes to official paperwork in Croatia – especially for MUP, courts, notaries, banks, and universities – working with a court-certified translator isn’t just a recommendation. It’s a requirement.
But beyond legal compliance, working with a certified translator can save you time, stress, and even money.
Here’s why.
What Is a Court-Certified Translator (Sudski Tumač)?
A sudski tumač is a translator appointed by the Ministry of Justice, authorized to provide legally valid translations for:
- Legal documents
- Personal certificates
- Contracts and official declarations
- Court and notarial procedures
These translations include:
- An official round stamp
- Signature and translator’s declaration
- Format accepted by Croatian institutions
🕒 Why It Saves You Time and Trouble
1. No delays due to rejections
Institutions reject regular translations. Certified ones are accepted immediately.
2. No extra fees for repeat work
If you hire someone unqualified, you’ll often need to pay again for a proper certified version.
3. Same-day delivery possible
Most certified translators – myself included – offer same-day service, especially in Rijeka.
4. Guidance and peace of mind
An experienced certified translator can also advise on whether you need an apostille, which documents require translation, and which format is accepted.
