About the Greek language.
Greek is the official language of Greece and one of the official languages of Cyprus. It is written in the Greek alphabet, the ancestor of the Latin and Cyrillic alphabets.
Greek names can be written in the Latin alphabet in several ways. We follow the spelling in your passport, so names match across your documents. Official titles, institutions and some terminology differ between Greece and Cyprus. Tell us where the document was issued and where it will be used. Greek needs fonts that support it, including accents. We check the final file displays correctly.
Greek to English is usually personal, civil, academic and property documents. English to Greek is usually business, legal and marketing content.
Common Greek documents include birth certificates, marriage certificates, degree certificates and powers of attorney. A certified translation is available for these. If an authority asks for a sworn translation, ask us to confirm availability for the language pair.

Certified Greek translation
For official documents, tell us which institution will receive your Greek translation and send its written requirements. We assess the language pair and confirm whether the project needs a signed statement of accuracy, a sworn translator or another process. Acceptance is decided by the receiving institution.
Common documents include birth certificates, marriage certificates, degree certificates and police clearance certificates. Requirements differ between courts, embassies, universities and immigration authorities, so tell us where the Greek translation will be submitted and send any written instructions you have. If an authority asks for a sworn translation, ask us to confirm availability for the language pair.
