Frequently Asked Questions
Practical answers to the most common questions about official document translation in Finland — what it involves, who can provide it, and how to check credentials.
It is a legally valid translation of an official document that carries the same legal weight as the original text.
These translations are strictly required by Finnish government agencies (such as the Digital and Population Data Services Agency / DVV), courts of law, and universities. The professional title is strictly protected under Finnish legislation (Act 1231/2007).
Translations can only be performed by individuals who have been officially authorised by the Examination Board of Authorised Translators, which operates under the auspices of the Finnish National Agency for Education (OPH).
Please note that the older title 'official translator' (virallinen kääntäjä) expired in 2012; translators must now hold the explicit 'authorised' status.
You can verify the valid credentials of any translator directly from the official Register of Authorised Translators (AKR) maintained by the Finnish National Agency for Education (OPH).
