Sworn translation for South African and Namibian official state bodies.
Afrikaans is a West Germanic language used in South Africa and Namibia. Although it has historical roots connected with Dutch, Afrikaans is a distinct language with its own grammar, vocabulary and legal usage; documents should not be handled as Dutch by default. The target jurisdiction and recipient guide terminology and format.
Assignments may involve company and intellectual-property records from CIPC, tax files from SARS, immigration and civil documents, DIRCO-related records, SAQA credentials and court materials. Birth certificates (Geboortesertifikaat), marriage certificates (Huweliksertifikaat) and police-clearance records require careful treatment of names and official references. Each authority sets its own translation and authentication requirements.
Professional Afrikaans work can cover mining licences and geological reports, renewable-energy projects, equipment manuals, wine and citrus exports, port logistics, company agreements and financial documents. Related files are checked for consistent terminology, codes, measurements and product names.
