Do you need an interpreter or a translator?

You may need interpreting services when dealing with Finnish authorities. Usually the authority pays the service. Remember to ask for an interpreter in advance!

You may also need to have important documents, such as certificates, translated. These translations must be authorised, and you will usually have to pay for them yourself. You can search for authorised translators in various languages in the Finnish National Board of Education’s register for authorised translators.

If you are in need of language support in more daily matters, such as going to an apartment viewing, shopping or starting a new hobby, a language support volunteer might be able to help you. Further information about this from the Municipality´s Info desk.
