About sworn Albanian translations
International clients often use the words certified or notarised, while the Dutch system uses the term sworn (beëdigd). In the Netherlands the element that carries legal weight is the sworn, Rbtv-registered translator who signs and stamps the work; a notary is not involved in the translation itself. So if a Dutch body asks for a certified or official Albanian translation, a sworn translation is what they mean.
Only a translator sworn before a Dutch district court and listed in the Rbtv for the Dutch–Albanian pair, a register kept by Bureau Wbtv on behalf of the Ministry of Justice and Security. That registration is what authorities check, not the translator's qualifications alone.
Civil-status documents (birth, marriage, death and divorce certificates), academic documents (diplomas and transcripts), criminal-record extracts, and various legal and corporate documents are the most common.
