Please note that we may request additional educational documents (such as a transcript of subjects from your previous level of education). You will be notified if such a request is necessary.
We are able to accept translations from certified translators only. A certified translator will always bind your documents together with a red, white, and blue string, have a round stamp with the Slovak national symbol and an appendix about being a certified translator that is attached as a last page with your documents. Unsure whether the translator you have found is certified? You can check the website of the Ministry of Justice, or the Slovak Embassy in your country.
