This page covers written translation. For an interpreter at a meeting, a notary or a medical appointment, see the Polish interpreter page.
Poland has a formal system of sworn translators ("tłumacz przysięgły"). Inside Poland, many offices, courts and registries expect a translation by a sworn translator entered on the Ministry of Justice list. For visa applications made from Georgia, a translation certified here is often used. We check which form applies before we start.

Polish into Georgian
Polish documents come into Georgian for the people who receive them and for Georgian offices: a work permit or residence decision that a worker needs to understand, a marriage or birth registered in Poland that must be recorded in Georgia, a Polish court decision, a medical report brought home after treatment.
Polish administrative decisions are long and precise, with a reasoning section and instructions on appeal and deadlines. We translate them in full, including the deadlines, because that is often the part the reader most needs to understand.
Georgian into Polish
Georgian documents go into Polish for the Polish consulate, voivodeship offices, employers, universities and registry offices. The translation uses Polish official terminology and the formats Polish offices expect for dates, addresses and document structure.
Your name is copied from the Latin spelling in your passport, without Polish adaptation. Polish offices assign a PESEL number and link records by name and passport data, so a single inconsistent letter between documents can cause delays.
Starting work in Poland? Send us the whole set - passport, diploma, criminal record certificate and any work references - and they will be translated with one spelling of your name.
Polish translation for work visas and employment
A Polish work visa usually rests on a document obtained by the employer in Poland - a work permit or a declaration of entrusting work - which you then present at the consulate with your own documents. We translate the Polish employer documents into Georgian so you know exactly what they say, and your Georgian documents into Polish for the visa file.
Qualifications matter for many jobs: drivers, welders, nurses and engineers are often asked for diplomas, certificates and proof of experience. We translate those in full, with job titles and qualification names rendered so that a Polish employer can match them to Polish categories.
Polish translation for study and universities
Polish universities ask for the school certificate or diploma, with transcripts, translated into Polish and usually apostilled. Some programmes also want a recognition decision or a statement of equivalence for the Georgian qualification.
Each subject, hour and grade is translated, and the Georgian grading scale is stated as the original gives it. The university does the conversion; we give it a complete basis for doing so.
Polish translation for residence and administrative procedures
Applying for a temporary residence card in Poland typically involves documents from Georgia: the birth or marriage certificate for family members, the criminal record certificate and sometimes proof of education. Voivodeship offices generally want these in Polish by a sworn translator, and some accept documents prepared in Georgia with an apostille. We check before translating.
Decisions and letters from the voivodeship office come back in Polish, often with deadlines to supply missing documents. We translate them quickly so you do not miss a deadline.
Legal, medical and business Polish
Legal. Contracts, powers of attorney, court and administrative decisions, with consistent legal terminology. See legal translation. Medical. Medical reports, sick notes, test results and insurance documents, with doses and drug names checked separately. See medical translation. Business. Offers, agreements, invoices and correspondence for Polish partners in transport, construction, food and manufacturing.Polish translation with notarization and apostille
For official use in Georgia a Polish translation is notarized. Georgia and Poland are both parties to the Apostille Convention, so Georgian public documents for Poland usually carry an apostille. See notarization and apostille and legalization.
If your Polish office requires a tłumacz przysięgły, we tell you before ordering, so you can decide where to have the translation made.
