Slovak Translation Services
DHCTranslations translates Slovak documents in the US, and the number printed on every Slovak certificate rewards a second look: the birth number carries the date of birth, with fifty added to the month for a woman, so a female applicant's number can read as a birth in the fifty-first month of a year. A document costs $54, statement and PDF included.

What a certified Slovak translation is checked for
A number that looks wrong on its face is the kind of detail that stops a file, so the translation explains it on the page instead of reproducing it alone.
What the certification includes
- Signed statement of accuracy: the translator's name, signature and date, their CIOL or ITI membership number, our company stamp and our contact details.
- The number is read out: the birth number is reproduced exactly and its month shift explained, so a reader can see that the fifth and sixth digits describe a woman rather than an impossible date.
- An older state is named: where the heading names Czechoslovakia rather than Slovakia, the certification says so, because a US reader holding a form with one country on it needs to know why the paper has another.
- Certified PDF: the certified file is emailed at no extra cost, which is what a US filing accepts. A printed set can be arranged if a receiving body insists on paper, and is quoted per order.

Half a year that never happened
A Slovak birth number begins with the date of birth in six digits, and for a woman the month is shifted by fifty, so March becomes fifty-three. Nothing is misprinted. The shift was built in so the number would record sex as well as date, and a reader who does not know it will take a woman's number for a clerical error and may query the very thing that confirms the record.

Three features of a Slovak file need explaining in the US. The birth number encodes the date of birth in its first six digits and the sex in the month shift, and numbers issued before the 1950s were shorter than the later ones. Papers from before 1993 were issued by a state that no longer exists, so the heading names Czechoslovakia and the office may have been renamed twice since. And an entry made in the Hungarian period, or in a region where Hungarian was used, may carry the name and the place in a Hungarian spelling that no later document repeats.
What our clients say
Rated 4.9/5 from 314 verified reviews for USCIS submissions, court filings and credential evaluations.
“My grandmother's 1940s marriage entry was in Hungarian, and the translator explained that in a note, so the caseworker understood why the wording differed.”
Mária H.
“The birth certificate was translated with the registry number and the registrar's seal in place, and the registration was accepted first time.”
Zuzana M.
“The criminal-record extract came back with the issue date clear, which the licensing body asked for before my start date.”
Peter K.

Frequently asked questions
DHCTranslations translates Slovak papers in the US, from registry certificates and extracts to diplomas, criminal-record extracts and court decisions, and every order carries a signed statement from the translator.
No. Fifty is added to the month for a woman, so a number reading fifty-three in the month position means March for a female applicant. The translation reproduces the number and explains the shift.
DHCTranslations charges $54 for a document up to 400 words, then $0.12 per word into English or $0.14 from English into Slovak, with the statement and PDF included.
It restates the date of birth in its first six digits, so a disagreement between the number and the date written on the certificate is visible, and the translation prints both so it is noticed early.
Yes. Papers issued before 1993 were made by a state that no longer exists, and the office on the heading may have been renamed since. The translation reproduces the heading as printed and identifies it.
Yes. Records from the Hungarian period, and entries from regions where Hungarian was used, carry names and places in Hungarian spellings, and those are translated as written rather than converted to Slovak forms.
A translation is accepted when the text is complete and the translator has signed for it, and both are supplied with the order. Send the certificate as issued, with the registry number and stamp visible.
The diploma is translated with the qualification, the faculty and the year, and the academic record adds the subjects, the grades and the credits, which lets an evaluator place the award.
It states the period it covers and often a validity window, and a US filing usually wants a recent one. Both dates are shown in English so the currency of the document is clear.
Yes. DHCTranslations charges $0.14 per word from English into Slovak, written by a native speaker rather than adapted from Czech.
