I was delighted with the quality of the translation and especially with the incredibly quick turnaround. I was in government offices, suddenly realized I needed a foreign language document officially translated, and Vanan had it back to me within an hour.
Readily available, helpful, and professional customer service. I had all my questions answered and my translation ordered within 20 minutes of accessing the webpage, and all via online chat. In an era of online chatbots, it was a pleasure to have a clear, efficient, communication with a human being. Aaron was excellent.
I needed to get a document translated into French. I found Vanan Online Services. My representative Vincent provided a low cost quote, handled my matter quickly, professionally, and my document was to me within 24 hours. Great job Vincent nd Great job Vanan. I have you saved in my contacts. 👍👍👍
I have been utilizing the translation services of Vanan on and off for nearly a decade now. It has been so seamless working with them. Would recommend Vanan for anyone needing documents translated from Haitian Creole and/or French to English!
Very friendly service from start to finish. I needed a certain part of my divorce decree translated and they went above and beyond to ensure I was satisfied with the final result. Also, I forgot to mention that they delivered way earlier than I expected. I highly recommend them :)))
Along with translations and transcriptions, their 3-second timecodes were especially helpful. I would recommend Vanan to anyone looking for language translations. 5 out of 5.
Icelandic translation turns a written document from Icelandic (íslenska) into English, or from English into Icelandic, carrying over its meaning, names, dates, and figures accurately and keeping the formatting as close to the original as the target language allows.
Submitting Icelandic documents for immigration, education, or legal purposes? Vanan Services provides Icelandic translation services for personal, business, legal, and official documents, helping you communicate effectively while preserving the original meaning and context. Our certified translation service helps you prepare birth certificates, marriage certificates, and other official records for submission.
Universities and credential evaluation agencies may request professional certified translations to review academic transcripts, diplomas, and supporting educational records.
Why risk delays due to incomplete translations? As an Icelandic translation company, we provide certified Icelandic translation with a company-issued certificate of translation. Our Icelandic language services also support Icelandic translations across multiple language pairs for different document requirements.
Iceland has a distinctive naming tradition in which many surnames are formed from a parent's first name rather than inherited as family names. For example, the endings -son and -dóttir identify a person's relationship to a parent. This naming system is important when translating birth certificates, marriage records, and identification documents. Our translators preserve personal names and document details when preparing Icelandic translations for official use.
You can submit your files online and receive guidance through 24/7 customer support. Have questions about document acceptance? Share the receiving authority's requirements before ordering, and we'll help you choose the right service.

The Icelandic language has four grammatical cases: nominative, accusative, dative, and genitive. It also uses three grammatical genders: masculine, feminine, and neuter. These features affect how nouns, adjectives, and other words change within sentences. Translating Icelandic therefore involves understanding grammatical relationships rather than replacing individual words.
Our translators consider these language rules to preserve the intended meaning of your content. Imagine facing a deadline with documents still untranslated. Our same-day service is available for eligible projects. Why let language barriers delay your plans? Share your files, request a free quote, and choose a delivery schedule that works for you.

Technical, medical, and financial documents carry details that cannot be lost in translation. Are you preparing equipment instructions, patient records, or financial statements for Icelandic readers? We provide specialized translation solutions that match each document's purpose and terminology.
For plant manuals, safety procedures, and quality documentation, manufacturing translations keep Icelandic terminology consistent across engineering, compliance, and supplier communications.
Imagine a manufacturer updating safety instructions before a shipment. One wrong term could delay approval. Our Icelandic text translation process is designed to deliver 99+% accuracy, and we provide project manager support to coordinate files, questions, and revisions.
You can share your documents, explain where they'll be used, and request a free quote. We help businesses keep specialized information consistent across languages without changing their intended meaning.
Companies operating across the Bronx, Queens, Midtown Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Times Square can also coordinate Icelandic translation projects for their regional offices and international partnerships.
A business struggled to adapt its product descriptions and marketing materials for Icelandic customers. Through our Icelandic translation services, we translated the content while preserving its intended message and cultural relevance. The completed materials helped the business communicate effectively with Icelandic audiences, leaving the customer satisfied with our work.
Icelandic projects are assigned by language pair and document type, with subject experience taken into account for renewable energy, fisheries, financial, and technical content. The renewable energy case study further down this page shows the approach on 146 pages of wind turbine documentation.
Academic Medical Financial Legal Marketing Ecommerce Technical Pharmaceutical Tourism Energy Fisheries Manufacturing, etc.It depends on who receives the document: offices in the United States work with a certified translation that carries a signed statement of accuracy, while some offices in Iceland ask for a state-authorized translator. Tell us where your document is going before you order.
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) asks for a full English translation of every document that contains a foreign language, certified by the translator as complete and accurate, together with the translator's certification that they are competent to translate into English, under 8 C.F.R. § 103.2(b)(3). We prepare certified translations for USCIS from Icelandic records such as birth certificates, passports, and police clearance certificates, and the officer reviewing the file makes the final decision.
The regulation asks for the translator's certification, not a notary's stamp. A court, consulate, or agency may still ask for a notarized copy or an apostille, so check the instructions from the office that receives your file. Names are translated as written on the Icelandic record, with letters such as þ, ð, æ, and ö preserved; if your passport or U.S. forms write a name without those letters, tell us the spelling they use when you order, and we will use it consistently across your documents.
Registers Iceland states that, for registration, documents in English or a Nordic language can be submitted without translation, while a document in any other language needs a certified translation attached. Foreign documents generally also need an apostille or legalization from the country that issued them, so check the requirements for your procedure before you order.
For court cases, the Courts of Iceland say translators of court documents generally need to be authorized translators, and a translation by another qualified person may be provided when no authorized translator is available. If the Icelandic office handling your case names a state-authorized document translator (löggiltur skjalaþýðandi), you can find one in the official list of authorised translators and court interpreters on Ísland.is. For every other use, we prepare the translation according to the instructions you share from the receiving office.

Iceland belongs to the European Economic Area (EEA), which connects 30 countries through a single market comprising 27 European Union countries and three European Free Trade Association (EFTA) countries. This arrangement supports trade in goods and services between Iceland and participating European markets.

According to Iceland's official court guidance, foreign-language documents used as evidence in court generally require translation into Icelandic when the case relies on their contents. The guidance also explains that translators handling court-related documents generally must be authorized translators, subject to certain exceptions.
This requirement makes legal terminology and document preparation especially important. We help you prepare Icelandic legal translations while accounting for the receiving authority's requirements.

Client Industry: Renewable Energy & Wind Power Engineering
Location: Portland, Oregon, USA
Languages: English (source) to Icelandic (target)
Files: 146 pages of technical documentation: wind turbine operation manuals, maintenance procedures, safety instructions, equipment specifications, and troubleshooting guides.
Delivery Time: 6 days, including translation, terminology review, linguistic quality assurance, and final formatting checks.
A renewable energy engineering company needed its English technical documentation translated into Icelandic for the engineers, maintenance staff, and field technicians who use it. The project called for Icelandic translation services that kept wind turbine, electrical, mechanical, and safety terminology consistent across all 146 pages, with every table, numbered procedure, warning, measurement, and heading aligned with the English source.
Specialized renewable energy, mechanical, and electrical engineering terminology. One consistent set of Icelandic terms across many interconnected documents. Safety warnings, procedural steps, measurements, tables, and equipment references that had to stay intact. Natural Icelandic that kept the technical meaning and the original document hierarchy, so technicians could find information quickly. We reviewed the source files first and listed recurring terms, equipment names, safety language, abbreviations, and formatting needs. We built a terminology framework before translation began, so each renewable energy, electrical, mechanical, and maintenance term had one Icelandic equivalent throughout. Linguists experienced in technical content translated the files, paying close attention to safety warnings, step-by-step instructions, specifications, and measurements. A separate linguistic and technical review checked terminology, completeness, numbers, formatting, tables, and cross-references before delivery. 146 pages translated from English into Icelandic in 6 days. Consistent Icelandic terminology across operating manuals, maintenance procedures, safety information, and troubleshooting guides. Specifications, measurements, warnings, numbered instructions, and component references preserved, with the original document structure intact. Less need for technicians to interpret English instructions during routine maintenance, and a terminology set ready for future Icelandic documentation and localization projects.“The Icelandic translations were clear, technically consistent, and delivered within our required timeframe. The final documentation was well organized and ready for practical use.”
Technical Documentation Manager, Renewable Energy Industry
Our Icelandic translation services support English to Icelandic and Icelandic to English translations, along with other major language pairs. We handle personal, business, legal, and academic documents while preserving the original meaning, context, and terminology.

We translate birth certificates, marriage certificates, academic transcripts, legal contracts, business reports, medical records, and technical manuals. Our services also cover websites and marketing materials. Each translation considers the document's purpose and specialized terminology.
Certified Icelandic translation includes a signed statement confirming the translation's completeness and accuracy. It is commonly requested for immigration, legal, and academic submissions. Standard translation is generally suitable for everyday communication, business content, and personal use when certification is not required.
Certificates and official documents, such as birth certificates, passports, and diplomas, cost $45 per page for 1–5 pages, $35 per page for 6–15 pages, and $25 per page for 16 or more pages. Other documents, such as contracts, websites, and manuals, are billed per word: $0.18 for 1–5 pages, $0.14 for 6–15 pages, and $0.10 for 16 or more pages, with one page counted as 250 words.

Usually only for documents used in Iceland: Icelandic courts generally require authorized translators, and other Icelandic offices may ask for one, so check the receiving office's instructions. The official list of authorized translators is published on Ísland.is. For USCIS, the regulation calls for a certified translation with the translator's signed statement of accuracy and competence, which is what we provide.
For registration with Registers Iceland, documents in English or a Nordic language can be submitted without translation. Documents in any other language need a certified translation, and foreign documents generally need an apostille or legalization from the country that issued them. Check the requirements for your procedure before you order.
Names are translated as written on the Icelandic record, with the letters þ, ð, æ, and ö preserved and patronymic surnames ending in -son or -dóttir kept exactly as they appear. If your passport or U.S. forms write a name without those letters, tell us the spelling they use when you order, and we will use it consistently across your documents.
The USCIS regulation asks for the translator's certification and does not call for notarization. If another office asks for more, notarization costs $15 per page with $5 for each additional certificate, and an apostille costs $100 for the first certificate and $10 for each additional one.
