Sworn Legal Interpreters in the Netherlands – Wbtv & Rbtv Explained
In the Netherlands, sworn interpreters are regulated by the Wet beëdigde tolken en vertalers (Wbtv). They are registered in the Register beëdigde tolken en vertalers (Rbtv) – the official Register of Sworn Interpreters and Translators.
A sworn interpreter (beëdigde tolk):
- has taken an official oath
- meets strict requirements for education, language skills and professional conduct
- works according to legal and ethical standards
- is bound by confidentiality, impartiality and accuracy
For many legal matters and notarial acts, working with a sworn interpreter is required or strongly recommended.
