About the sworn translation service
As from 1 January 2015, only sworn translators can make official translations from Estonian into a foreign language.

We offer the sworn translator service in Estonian-English, Estonian-Finnish, Estonian-Russian, Estonian-Italian, Estonian-Spanish, Estonian-Swedish, Estonian-Latvian, Estonian-German, Estonian-Norwegian, Estonian-Lithuanian, German-Russian, Russian-English, Estonian-Polish, Estonian-Ukrainian, Portuguese-Estonian, Estonian-Dutch and Spanish-English.
