Sworn Translators in Iasi

Sworn translators in Iasi are individuals who have obtained a certification in the field of translations that was issued by the Ministry of Justice. Thus, there is a legal distinction from persons who can translate documents from one language to another, such as persons who have graduated from a university where they majored in foreign languages and persons who have obtained a certificate issued by the Ministry of Justice, which grants them the right to perform specific types of translation services. The latter are known as sworn translators and they are entitled to perform a set of services for persons or companies that need specific documents translated from one language to another. It is also important to know that our Romanian translators can be specialized in specific fields of translations or specialized in specific services.

What are the fees charged for translation services in Romania?

Given that the practice developed by our Romanian translators is a private practice, all companies that carry translation services will charge a fee. The rates at which translation services are charged vary based on the region (larger cities will charge higher fees), the types of translation services required, as well as the language in which the translation is made.

For a more accurate estimate of the fee that you may be charged with, you can address to our translator in Romania, but the list below can also be used as a way to calculate the costs you may have to pay when requesting translation services:

  • for translations in common foreign languages, such as English, French, Spanish, which are very common languages used in Europe, one can pay RON 23 per page;
  • less common European languages, such as Polish, Czech or Finnish, can be charged with RON 80-90 per page;
  • if you need a translation in a language that only few translators are certified in, such as Japanese, you can expect to pay RON 150 per page;
  • from a translation point of view, a translated page refers to a page which has 2,000 characters, including the spaces;
  • however, when we refer to standard documents, forms, certificates and other physical papers, the translation will be calculated per 1 physical page, regardless if the respective page has less than 2,000 characters (such as birth certificates, which contain a reduced number of words).

Can sworn translators in Iasi provide emergency services?


Yes, you can rely on our team in the case in which you need emergency translation services. However, in this case, you should expect to pay a fee that will increase by 50% compared to its standard price, because our team will prioritize your documents even though the translators may have other work in progress.

The higher fee is also charged due to the fact that this will become a labor intensive project, as our emergency services will be concluded in maximum 24 hours, so that you can have your document ready in due time. For more information, we invite you to contact our Romanian translators and find out other ways in which our team can be of assistance.
