Certified translation — a case study

Certified translation is a distinct discipline. Unlike standard translation, a certified (or authorised) translation carries legal weight — it is signed, stamped, and legally binding. It is required for company documents, financial certificates, legal proceedings, and any situation where a translated document must be accepted by an authority.

Fluid Translation provides authorised translations through our Kammarkollegiet-certified translators. Kammarkollegiet is Sweden's official body for authorising translators, and certification by this body is widely required by Swedish authorities, courts, and regulatory bodies.

Our certified translation work covers a wide range of document types: annual reports submitted to foreign authorities, articles of association, financial statements for cross-border transactions, court documents, and certificates of all kinds.

Documents can be delivered digitally (with a certified e-signature) or in hard copy with the original stamp. We work closely with clients to understand the exact requirements of the receiving authority, ensuring the translation meets all formal standards.

For companies listed on Nasdaq Nordic or involved in cross-border M&A, certified translations are a recurring need. We offer fast turnaround without compromising on the rigour that certification demands. See also our Indutrade case study for an example of high-stakes legal document translation.
