Czech Translation - Czech to Georgian and Georgian to Czech

This page covers written translation. For an interpreter at a meeting, a notary or a medical appointment, see the Czech interpreter page.

Inside the Czech Republic, official translations are made by a court translator ("soudní překladatel") entered on the Ministry of Justice list, who attaches a translation clause and seal. Some procedures started from Georgia accept a translation certified here; others, including many nostrification procedures, expect a Czech court translator. We check the requirement of your office first.

Which Czech documents we translate

Czech into Georgian

Czech documents come into Georgian when a Georgian office or a Georgian reader needs them: a nostrification decision or a Czech diploma brought home, a visa or employee card decision that the applicant must understand, a Czech court decision, a medical report after treatment, a contract with a Czech company.

Czech administrative decisions follow a fixed structure - operative part, reasoning, instruction on appeal - and the appeal deadline is often the most important sentence for the reader. We translate the whole decision, including those instructions.

Georgian into Czech

Georgian documents go into Czech for Czech universities, regional authorities that decide on nostrification, the Ministry of the Interior, employers and courts. The translation uses Czech official terminology and formats, and it reads as a Czech administrative text.

Your name is copied from the Latin spelling in your passport. Czech offices sometimes add the feminine "-ová" ending to women's surnames in their own records; in a translation of a Georgian document we keep the surname exactly as in the passport, which is what the law allows for foreign nationals.

Czech translation for nostrification and recognition

Nostrification ("nostrifikace") is the Czech procedure for recognising a foreign school certificate or university degree. Secondary qualifications are recognised by the regional authority; university degrees by a Czech public university or, in some cases, the relevant ministry. The file usually includes the diploma, the supplement or transcript with subjects and hours, and sometimes a description of the programme.

Every subject name, credit, hour and grade is translated consistently across the diploma, the supplement and any syllabus. The Georgian grading scale is stated as the original gives it. The Czech authority does the comparison; our job is to make sure nothing it needs is missing or ambiguous.

Czech translation for work visas and employee cards

Georgians working in the Czech Republic usually apply for an employee card, which combines a residence and a work permit. The application requires an employment contract or binding promise of employment, proof of qualifications for the job, proof of accommodation and, for some cases, a criminal record certificate.

We translate the Czech employer documents into Georgian so you understand the conditions, and your Georgian documents into Czech for the file. For jobs that require specific qualifications - drivers, welders, healthcare workers - the qualification documents are translated with job titles matched to Czech usage.

Czech translation for the embassy and visa procedures

Applications are lodged at the Czech embassy in Tbilisi, which publishes the documents required for each visa and card type. Most Georgian public documents in the file need an apostille, and the apostille is translated with the document. We work from the embassy's current checklist, not from a generic list.

For family reunification and long-term residence, birth and marriage certificates are needed, often together with a certificate of family status. We translate the whole package with one spelling of every name.

Legal, medical, technical and business Czech

Czech translation with notarization and apostille

For official use in Georgia a Czech translation is notarized. Georgia and the Czech Republic are both parties to the Apostille Convention, so Georgian public documents for the Czech Republic usually carry an apostille. See notarization and apostille and legalization.

If your Czech office requires a soudní překladatel, we tell you before the order, and we can prepare the apostilled originals so the Czech translator can work from them directly.

How a Czech translation order runs

Price and turnaround for Czech translation

The price depends on the direction, the volume, the subject and the certification. A nostrification file with a long supplement and syllabus is quoted as a whole. See translation prices.

A certificate is usually ready within one or two working days; diplomas with supplements and syllabuses take longer. Give us your embassy appointment or submission deadline so we can plan around it.
