Expert Polish <> English Translation Services
Poplawski Translations offers professional, reliable, and officially recognised certified English to Polish translation services. Whether you are a private client or a commercial entity, we understand that you require accurate, timely, and, crucially, legally accepted translations. Our expert team is dedicated to simplifying the often-complex requirements for official documents in Poland, making the entire process straightforward and easy for you.
Why Official Translation is Required for Poland
For many official and legal matters in Poland, a certified, or ‘sworn,’ translation is mandated for the documents to have legal validity, similar to requirements in the UK.
- A sworn translation is distinct from a standard translation; it holds legal status and must be prepared and certified by a sworn translator officially registered with the Polish Ministry of Justice.
- This official certification guarantees that the translated document is a true and faithful rendition of the original, granting it the same legal standing.
- This type of certification is essential to ensure your documents are accepted by all Polish institutions, courts, and authorities.
For Personal and Life Matters
If you have connections to both the UK and Poland—such as a British national in Poland or a Polish citizen in the UK—you will likely need official translations for major life events.
We expertly translate personal documents for official use, including:
- Birth Certificates: Needed for registering a birth in Poland or for applying for Polish citizenship.
- Marriage Certificates: To officially register a marriage performed in the UK with a Polish registry office (Urząd Stanu Cywilnego).
- Academic Documents: Diplomas and transcripts for those who need their UK qualifications recognised for work or study in Poland.
- Death Certificates: Required for matters concerning probate, inheritance, or wills in Poland.
- Divorce Decrees: Critical for updating your civil status on official Polish records.
- Medical and Identification Documents: Such as Passports, ID Cards, and Medical Records, frequently necessary for various administrative or legal proceedings, or for claiming insurance or treatment in Poland.
Crucially: Without an officially certified (sworn) translation, Polish authorities will not accept these vital documents, which can lead to significant complications and delays.

For Business and Legal Requirements
With Poland’s expanding international relations and robust economy, it is a prime market for UK businesses looking to grow. Official translations are a fundamental part of the process, whether you are establishing a new company, entering a contract, or involved in legal action.
Our sworn translators possess specialist knowledge of legal and commercial terms, ensuring all business documents are translated with the highest accuracy. We provide certified translations for a wide range of corporate and legal documentation, including:
- Company Formation: Articles of Association, a mandatory requirement for registering a new business (spółka z o.o.) in the Polish National Court Register (Krajowy Rejestr Sądowy).
- Commercial Agreements: Contracts and Agreements for sales, service, and legally binding partnerships with Polish entities.
- Litigation Support: Court Orders and Judgements for enforcing court decisions and managing cross-border legal cases.
- Financial Records: Bank Records and Financial Statements for securing investment, tax declarations, and audits.
- Intellectual Property: Patent and Trademark Applications to secure your intellectual property rights within the Polish market.
- Authorisation: Power of Attorney to legally permit a representative in Poland to act on your behalf.
We recognise that business operates on strict deadlines. Our efficient service ensures your documents are ready on time, letting you focus on your commercial goals without any hold-ups.
