Sworn translation into Polish
Updated:
A sworn translation (tłumaczenie przysięgłe) is the standard of official translation in Poland: it is produced by a translator entered in the state register of the Ministry of Justice, and that translator’s stamp makes the document acceptable to any Polish institution. MovaPro arranges sworn Polish translations remotely — no hunting for a translator in your voivodeship, no queues.
When you need a sworn Polish translation
- civil-status acts at USC offices: marriage, a child’s birth, transcription of Ukrainian certificates;
- court cases and notarial acts in Poland;
- business registration (KRS) and corporate documents;
- parts of residence-legalization procedures at voivodeship offices.
For many everyday situations — an employer, a school, a rental — a notarized translation from Ukraine is enough and costs noticeably less. The simple rule: first ask your institution which translation format it accepts — then order.

Frequently asked questions
What is a tłumacz przysięgły and how is it different from a regular translator?
A sworn translator who has taken an oath and is entered in the register of Poland's Ministry of Justice. A translation under their stamp has official status and is accepted by every Polish state institution without further certification.
Which institutions require a sworn translation?
Typically USC civil registry offices, courts, KRS, notaries, and most voivodeship offices. Employers, schools, or banks often accept a notarized translation from Ukraine instead — check with your institution first; we'll help you phrase the question.
Do Ukrainian documents need an apostille for Poland?
Ukraine and Poland have a legal-assistance treaty, so most official documents do not require an apostille. Some institutions still ask for one — verify in advance and we'll guide you for your case.
How does ordering work if I'm already in Poland?
Fully remotely: you send a scan or a good photo of the document, we confirm the price and timeline, the sworn translator completes the work, and you receive a scan immediately plus the stamped paper original by post.
