    Sworn document translation

    These are the documents German offices ask for most often. If yours is not here, send it anyway — we will tell you exactly what the authority will accept.

    Certified translation valid in Germany

    Had enough of German bureaucracy? You have been asked for a beglaubigte Übersetzung — a certified translation — and it is not obvious what that means or who is allowed to produce one.

    In Germany the answer is a translator sworn in before a regional court. They stamp and sign the translation and add a certification clause confirming it is complete and accurate. That stamp is what the Standesamt, the Ausländerbehörde, a university or a court is actually looking for.

    German offices generally want the certified translation on paper with an original stamp, so every order includes a posted copy as well as the digital one. Tell us which office it is for and we will make sure it arrives in the form they accept.

    Frequently asked questions

    Tap any question to see the answer!
    What is a beglaubigte Übersetzung?
    A certified translation produced by a translator sworn in before a German regional court. They add a certification clause, their stamp and their signature, confirming the translation is complete and accurate. German authorities accept that; they do not accept an uncertified translation, however good it is.
    Will I get a paper copy?
    Yes. German offices generally want the certified translation on paper with an original stamp, so every order includes a posted copy alongside the digital one. If you only need the digital version, tell us and we will price it accordingly.
    Is the translation valid across all of Germany?
    Yes. A translator sworn before any German regional court produces certifications that are accepted nationwide, and in practice abroad as well.
    Do I need to send the original document by post?
    Usually not. A clear scan or photo is enough for us to produce and certify the translation. If the specific office insists the translation be made from the original in hand, tell us and we will arrange it.
    How do I send my documents?
    A clear photo taken with your phone is enough — you do not need a scanner. Drag the files onto the quote form, or send them to us on WhatsApp. We accept PDF, Word, JPG, PNG and HEIC, and we never compress them, so stamps and handwriting stay legible.
    How quickly will I get my translation?
    You receive your quote within 24 hours. Once you approve it and payment is confirmed, most standard certificates are delivered within 24 to 48 hours, plus postal time for the paper copy. If you have a deadline, tell us the date and we will confirm before you commit.
    How much does a certified translation cost?
    It depends on the document, the language pair and how quickly you need it, so we quote each job individually rather than publishing a price that would be wrong for most people. Send us a photo and you will have a fixed price — with no obligation.
    Are my documents safe?
    Yes. Uploads are encrypted, they are seen only by the translator assigned to your job, and they are permanently deleted 30 days after your translation is delivered. We never share them with anyone else.
