About the Icelandic language.
Icelandic is a member of the Germanic language family, primarily spoken in North Atlantic. Businesses, researchers, legal professionals, and organisations working with Icelandic-speaking communities rely on accurate language services to communicate effectively and respectfully.
Every Icelandic project is matched to a linguist with the right language combination and subject knowledge, and run by a named project manager. Depending on the service level you choose, your translation can include an independent second-linguist edit or a fuller proofreading and review.
Certified Icelandic translation is available for official documents such as birth certificates, degree certificates and academic transcripts. If an authority asks for a sworn translation, ask us to confirm availability for the language pair. For designed documents, our desktop publishing team handles Icelandic typesetting.

If an authority asks for a sworn translation, ask us to confirm availability for the language pair.
