Request a certified translation

When a standard translation is not enough

For official procedures, a standard translation is often not sufficient.

When documents need to be submitted to authorities, courts, notaries, registries, universities, banks, or other institutions, a certified translation may be required.

With a certified translation, the translator confirms that the translation is accurate and complete. This makes the translation suitable for official purposes, provided it has been prepared by a duly sworn or authorized translator.

What is a certified translation?

Accurate. Complete. In the required form.

As a sworn translator for the English language, I confirm the accuracy and completeness of the translation.

The certified translation includes:

a certification statement
stamp
signature

This makes it a formally certified translation that can be used for submission to official bodies.

Important: In Germany, certified translations cannot be prepared by just anyone. They must be issued by appropriately sworn or authorized translators.

For Companies and Law Firms

Certified translations for legal and business documents

Companies, law firms, and notaries often require certified translations when foreign-language documents need to be submitted in Germany or when German documents are to be used abroad.

Typical documents include:

contracts
pleadings
court judgments and decisions
shareholder resolutions
commercial register excerpts
articles of association and bylaws
powers of attorney
registration and incorporation documents
other corporate documents

Certified translations are commonly required in court proceedings, registry filings, real estate transactions, company formations, administrative procedures, or international business relationships.

For Private Clients and Expats

Certified translations of personal documents

Private clients also frequently need certified translations, for example for authorities, employers, universities, registry offices, or recognition procedures.

Typical documents include:

birth certificates
marriage certificates
divorce decrees
death certificates
police clearance certificates
residence registration certificates
school records
university transcripts
diplomas and certificates
employment references
application documents

Common purposes include administrative procedures, marriage matters, job applications, visa or residence matters, recognition procedures, university applications, or professional documentation.

Language Directions

German ↔ English

My focus is on certified translations in the following language directions:

English → German
German → English

For submission to German authorities, courts, notaries, or institutions, a certified German translation of English-language documents is often required.

Conversely, certified translations of German documents into English are often needed for foreign authorities, universities, employers, business partners, or institutions.

Certified translations into and from other European languages may be available upon request through a carefully selected network of experts.

I will be happy to help you determine which language direction and form of translation are appropriate for your specific purpose.
