What Are Certified Translation Services In Denmark?
Certified Translation Services In Denmark refer to translation services for documents that may require certification, an authorised translator, a declaration, notarisation, legalisation, or another formal verification depending on the receiving organisation. The exact requirement should not be assumed to be the same for every document.
For example, the Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs states that since the legislation was adjusted in January 2016, there is no general requirement for a translation to be performed by a certified translator. However, the same Ministry provides specific procedures for legalising certain translations, while SIRI has its own requirements for documents submitted with applications.

Our Document Translation Services
Translation requirements in Denmark depend on the purpose of the document and the authority receiving it. While Danish law no longer generally requires translations to be performed by a certified translator, certain authorities and procedures have specific requirements. For example, SIRI states that particular documents submitted for immigration-related applications must be translated by an authorised translator. Prism can help assess your document, language combination, intended use, certification requirements, formatting, and delivery requirements before translation begins. Prism can assess these requirements and provide the appropriate translation service according to the intended use.
- The type of document
- The destination country
- The receiving authority
- Source language
- Target language
- Purpose of the translation
- Whether certification is required
- Whether legalization or apostille is required
- Whether a translator registered with the Slovak Ministry of Justice is required

Why Choose Certified Translation Services In Denmark?
Official documents can contain names, dates, registration numbers, signatures, stamps, legal terminology, institutional names, and other information that needs to be reproduced carefully. The important point is that translation and certification requirements depend on the authority receiving the document. For example, SIRI specifies that certain documents must be translated by an authorised translator and that both the original document and translation should be submitted.
- Immigration procedures
- Residence applications
- Visa documentation
- University admissions
- Qualification recognition
- Employment procedures
- Marriage-related procedures
- Legal proceedings
- Court matters
- Business registration
- Company documentation
- Financial procedures
- Property matters
- Insurance documentation
- International business
This makes it important to check the requirements of the specific authority before selecting a translation service.

Authorised Translation Services In Denmark
The terminology surrounding translation certification in Denmark is important. Denmark adjusted its legislation in January 2016, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs states that there is no general requirement for translations to be performed by a certified translator. However, particular authorities can impose their own requirements. For example, SIRI states that certain documents submitted in its procedures must be translated by an authorised translator. This distinction helps avoid submitting a translation that does not meet the receiving authority’s requirements.
Certified Translation vs Authorised Translation In Denmark
These terms should not automatically be treated as identical.
Certified Translation- A certified translation may refer to a translation accompanied by a certification, declaration, or other confirmation depending on the service and receiving organisation.
Authorised Translation- An authorised translation may be required by a particular authority where its rules specify that the translation must be completed by an authorised translator.
Legalised Translation- A legalised translation has gone through an additional authentication process where applicable.
Apostille- An Apostille is a form of authentication used for qualifying public documents under the Hague Apostille Convention. The appropriate procedure depends on the document and where it will be used.

Documents Commonly Requiring Certified Translation
Our Certified Translation Services In Denmark service regularly handles official documents required by government departments, universities, embassies, multinational companies, and professional organizations.Frequently translated documents include:
Legalisation and Apostille for Certified Translation Services In Denmark
Translation and legalisation are separate procedures.
Translation changes the language of a document.
Legalisation authenticates certain signatures, seals, or documents for use in another country.
The Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs explains that translations of documents issued by public Danish authorities can be legalised when the original document is also eligible for legalisation. For certain translation legalisation procedures, the translator must sign a statutory declaration, which can be notarised or, for translation companies, confirmed by an appropriate chamber of commerce.
The Ministry also states that it does not legalise foreign documents or their endorsed translations.
Therefore, the legalisation process depends on where the original document was issued.
Apostille and Certified Translation Services In Denmark
An Apostille may be required when a public document is intended for use in another country that applies the Hague Apostille Convention.
For foreign documents intended for use in Denmark, the Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs states that the document should generally be legalised in the country where it was issued, and documents from countries participating in the Apostille Convention can receive an Apostille from the competent authority in the issuing country.
The requirement depends on:
- Country of origin
- Destination country
- Document type
- Applicable international agreement
- Receiving authority
- Whether the document is public or private
Apostille and translation should therefore be treated as separate requirements.
University Document Certified Translation Services In Denmark
International students may need translated academic documents when applying to Danish educational institutions.
Documents may include:
- Diplomas
- Academic transcripts
- Degree certificates
- Course descriptions
- School certificates
- Training records

- Birth certificates
- Marriage certificates
- Residence certificates
- Civil-status certificates
- Certificates of no criminal record
