What is a certified translation?

A certified translation is produced by a state-approved or sworn translator who has taken a general oath at a district court or higher regional court in Germany and provided with a certification statement, a round seal and the translator’s signature.

The most frequently translated documents include: birth certificates, marriage certificates, death certificates, certificates of no impediment, diplomas, contracts, notarial deeds, and many more.

What are the common uses of a certified translation?

Clients may need certified translations for many reasons. Procedures with government entities (e.g. applying for a visa, obtaining a driver’s license, claiming public benefits) often require certified translations.

Similarly, legal proceedings, both civil (e.g. adoption, divorce) and criminal, may demand certified translations.

Educational institutions also require foreign candidates to submit certified translations of application documents (e.g. diplomas, transcripts.)
