Criminal and civil proceedings

Article 72 of the Polish Code of Criminal Procedure concerns an accused person’s right to interpreting; Article 204 specifies situations in which an interpreter is called. Under Article 256 of the Code of Civil Procedure, a court may require a sworn translation of a foreign-language document. The competent authority determines the procedural arrangements.

The translator conveys the meaning of statements and documents and does not replace defence counsel, legal representation or the authority’s legal assessment. Unclear passages and names must be clarified.

03 · The office

Care, impartiality and confidentiality

Document-transfer arrangements are agreed for the assignment. The contact form is for an initial scope and timing enquiry; do not enter case-file contents or personal details of participants.
