Do you need a sworn translator during the transfer at the civil-law notary?

When you do not have a sufficient command of the Dutch language when signing notarial deeds, you require an interpreter by Dutch law. Translations cannot be taken care of by friends, family, your estate agent or the notary. It needs to be an interpreter sworn in by a Dutch court. The interpreter will not only translate the content of the deeds and verbal explanations but will co-signs the notarial deeds as well. If you do not have a sufficient command of the Dutch language and there’s no interpreter present, it will not be possible to sign the notarial deed.

We have various sworn translators and interpreters we closely work together with that can service you in any language that you rquire. The costs can vary between €250 to €1.000 depending on the language and time required for the translations.
