Dutch-Georgian Translation Services in Tbilisi - For the Netherlands, Flanders and Dutch Agribusiness in Georgia

Dutch and Georgian: agriculture, water, universities and a demanding bureaucracy

The Netherlands is one of Georgia's most active European partners in agriculture and water: Dutch greenhouse technology, seed companies, dairy and poultry genetics, cold storage and logistics have reshaped Georgian farming, Dutch water engineers work on irrigation and flood protection, and the Dutch Embassy in Tbilisi runs one of the larger European development and trade programs. Georgians go to the Netherlands as kennismigranten in IT and engineering, as students at Leiden, Delft, Wageningen, Amsterdam, Utrecht and the hogescholen, as spouses and family members, and as researchers; Dutch companies in agribusiness, logistics, energy and consulting work in Georgia; and Dutch tourists, cyclists and hikers find in Georgia a landscape the Netherlands lacks. Flanders, the Dutch-speaking part of Belgium, adds its own universities, companies and authorities. Each connection produces documents in Dutch that Georgian authorities need in Georgian, and documents in Georgian that Dutch and Flemish authorities need in Dutch.

The Netherlands certifies translations through beëdigde vertalers sworn before a court and registered in the Register beëdigde tolken en vertalers (Rbtv), and Dutch authorities require their stamp for most official purposes; a small number of beëdigde vertalers for Georgian exist, far fewer than the demand. Belgium's Flemish authorities use beëdigde vertalers registered with the FOD Justitie. Georgia has the notarized translation. Our Dutch team at David Agmashenebeli Ave 117 - Georgian sworn translators with Dutch training, native Dutch and Flemish editors and partner beëdigde vertalers in the Netherlands and Belgium for re-certification - connects the systems.
