- Press Releases (Persberichten): We help you craft compelling press releases that resonate with Dutch media and stakeholders. Our translations maintain the original tone and message, ensuring your brand is presented professionally and effectively. We understand the importance of timely release and work to strict deadlines to get your news out promptly.
- Legal Contracts & Agreements (Juridische documenten): Legal precision is paramount. We translate contracts, non-disclosure agreements, terms of service, and other legal documents with meticulous attention to detail. Our translators are well-versed in legal terminology and legal systems, ensuring that the translated document holds the same legal weight as the original. This is crucial for business deals, partnerships, and for ensuring legal compliance in the Dutch market.
- Technical Documentation (Technische documentatie): Whether it’s user manuals, engineering specifications, or product guides, technical translations require a high degree of accuracy. Our specialists have deep knowledge of technical vocabulary and industry standards, guaranteeing that your technical documents are clear, precise, and easily understood by Dutch users and professionals. We ensure all technical terms are translated consistently to avoid any confusion or errors.
- Correspondence with Authorities (Correspondentie met autoriteiten): Navigating official communication with Dutch authorities can be challenging. We translate correspondence, applications, and other official documents, helping you communicate effectively with government bodies, trade registries, and other public entities in the Netherlands.

We understand that time is often of the essence in business. Our commitment to prompt and precise communication means we respond to your inquiries quickly and provide clear timelines for your projects. We pride ourselves on sticking to our deadlines, so you can be confident that your business operations will not be delayed.
Our recent projects involved translation of:
- Documentation for a software tender – a formal bid for a project. Translation of all the documents needed to submit a bid for a software-related project, including proposals, terms of service, and technical specifications. This type of translation requires a deep understanding of both software terminology and the legal language used in contracts.
- Website translation – adapting the content of a website from one language to another. It’s not just a word-for-word translation; it also includes adapting the text for cultural relevance, a process known as localisation. This is crucial for businesses aiming to attract a global audience.
- Technical specification sheets – documents that define the technical requirements for a product/material and system. The translation of these sheets must be highly accurate to ensure that the final product meets the intended standards and that there are no errors in production or assembly. This often requires a translator with specialised knowledge in a particular industry, such as engineering or manufacturing.
- Medical Certificates – translation of official medical documents, including doctor’s notes, medical reports, and health records. These are often required for insurance claims, travel, or for receiving medical treatment in another country.
- Correspondence with authorities – correspondence between a UK-based company and the Dutch road haulage authorities over some fines which were imposed.
Certified & Official Dutch Translation Services
When you need to use a Dutch document for official purposes in the UK or another country, a standard translation is often not enough. You will almost certainly require a certified translation (beëdigde vertaling). This is a translation that is accompanied by a statement from the translator or translation company, affirming its accuracy and fidelity to the original document. At Translate Fast Ltd, we provide certified translations that are accepted by government bodies, educational institutions, and other official organisations in the UK and worldwide.
Our certified translations are perfect for individuals and families who are relocating to the UK, applying for a visa, or dealing with legal matters. Our process is straightforward, secure, and designed to give you peace of mind. We provide certified translations for a wide range of personal documents, including but not limited to:
- Mortgage Applications: If you’re a Dutch national buying a property in the UK, your mortgage provider will require a certified translation of your financial documents, such as bank statements and proof of income. We ensure these are translated accurately and professionally to meet all official requirements, helping your application process run smoothly.
- Registry Office Documents (Documenten van de burgerlijke stand): This category includes crucial personal records such as birth certificates (geboorteakte), marriage certificates (huwelijksakte), and death certificates (overlijdensakte). These documents are often needed for residency applications, marriage registrations, and other legal procedures in the UK. Our certified translations are accepted by registry offices across the country.
- Criminal Records (Strafblad): When applying for a UK visa or a new job, you may be required to provide a certified translation of your Dutch criminal record check. Our translators handle these sensitive documents with the utmost discretion and professionalism, ensuring accuracy and confidentiality.
- Educational Certificates & Diplomas: If you’re a Dutch student applying to a UK university, you’ll need a certified translation of your school certificates, degrees, and academic transcripts. We ensure that all your qualifications are accurately represented, helping you to achieve your academic goals.
- Medical Certificates & Documents (Medische documenten): We provide certified translations for medical reports, doctor’s notes, and other health-related documents. This is essential for accessing medical services in the UK, making insurance claims, or for legal and work-related purposes. We handle all personal medical information with strict confidentiality.

The Sworn Translation (Beëdigde vertaling) Process
A sworn translation is a specialised form of certified translation. In the Netherlands, a sworn translator (beëdigde vertaler) is a linguist who has taken an oath before a court to translate documents faithfully and accurately. If your document requires a translation that is sworn by a Dutch court-sworn translator, we have the network and expertise to provide this service, ensuring your document is fully compliant with Dutch legal standards. We can provide translations of Dutch documents into English that are certified to be legally valid in the UK. We also provide apostille services (Apostille), which may be required for certain documents to be officially recognised abroad.
At Translate Fast Ltd, our reputation is built on trust, quality, and reliability. Our certified translations are delivered with a signed declaration, our company stamp, and our contact details, providing a robust, verifiable document for your official use. We also provide electronic copies for your convenience, in addition to the original paper document.
We understand that these documents are often needed urgently. Our efficient processes and dedication to meeting deadlines mean we can provide a quick turnaround without compromising on accuracy. You can be confident that your documents will be ready when you need them, allowing you to move forward with your plans smoothly.
