About Us
IDEE Tõlkebüroo is a translation agency in Tallinn that helps prepare documents for submission to government authorities, embassies, and organizations in Estonia and abroad.
People usually come to us not just for a translation, but with a question: will the documents be accepted and what format is required. This may involve submitting documents to the police (PPA), applying for a residence permit, entering a university, dealing with embassies, or using documents abroad.
We provide sworn translations, notarized translations, and assist with apostille. In practice, however, the key point is not the type of translation itself, but the requirements of the receiving institution — this is what determines whether the documents will be accepted the first time.
In most cases, the process includes several steps: translation, then certification, and, if required, apostille. For the client, this is a single process, and our role is to guide it clearly and smoothly, without unnecessary steps or rework.
We regularly work with personal and official documents such as birth and marriage certificates, diplomas and transcripts, criminal record certificates, powers of attorney, as well as court and notarial documents. Requirements may vary depending on the country, institution, or embassy. That is why there is no universal answer to “what type of translation is needed” — it always depends on the specific case. We clarify this in advance and select the appropriate format based on the receiving authority’s requirements.
You can send your documents by email or visit our translation office in Tallinn — in that case, we can review them on the spot and explain the best way to prepare everything without unnecessary risk.
