Certified translation in Leeuwarden

Many residents of Leeuwarden need a certified translation for the civil affairs department (Burgerzaken) of the municipality of Leeuwarden, for example to register a foreign birth or marriage certificate. The IND, DUO and employers also often ask for a certified translation. You send a scan and receive the translation digitally and, if required, by post.
