Consecutive interpreting for notaries, municipalities and meetings; liaison interpreting for visits and negotiations; simultaneous interpreting with equipment for conferences and events; remote interpreting by phone or video when travel isn't needed.
Sworn interpreters for official acts
A notary, a civil registrar or another authority may require a sworn interpreter when one party does not understand the language of the act, for example at a property sale, a marriage or a declaration of legal cohabitation. We book an interpreter with the right status for the appointment.
