In Switzerland, as in many countries globally, a translation attains official recognition only when executed by a qualified translator or a certified translation office such as Dialektikus+. Such translations are validated with our official seal and the signature of an authorised notary or official.
Documents, certificates or records issued in the Bahamas require translation into official German before they are legally valid in Switzerland. This process is crucial for civil status procedures, including the certification of civil status, recognition of a child and the transcription of foreign marital statuses—be it marriage, divorce or separation. Each document must undergo a rigorous and detailed analysis to bridge the substantial differences between the distinct legal systems of the two regions, ensuring precision and fidelity in the translation.
Consequently, there exists an elevated duty of care in the selection and engagement of a translation office. The choice of translator is not only critical but decisive, impacting the lawful recognition and acceptance of your translated documents within Switzerland.
Certification Statement/Translator’s Endorsement at the Conclusion of the Translation
At the conclusion of each translation, a formal statement certifies that the translation of a document originating from the Bahamas has been executed completely and accurately. We unequivocally assure the completeness and precision of our officially recognised translations under our professional indemnity insurance. This guarantees you unparalleled security and ease in managing all formalities and engagements with Swiss governmental bodies, administrative offices, courts, health insurance schemes, insurers and other pertinent entities serving the judicial system.
Officially Recognised Translations Faithfully Reproducing the Original
In the interests of traceability, quality assurance and transparency, we endeavour to replicate the original layout and typography of your Bahamian documents as accurately and meticulously as possible in our notarially certified translations into German or other languages. In addition to rapid dispatch via A-Post Plus—optionally accompanied by a signed collaboration form—you will consistently receive your commissioned, officially recognised translation in electronic PDF format. This facilitates and significantly streamlines the handling of your specific transactions or queries.
