When do I need a certified translation?
There are a number of reasons and occasions for which you might require a certified translation.
For example, you will usually need certified translations of certain documents, such as references or certificates, for applications, whether it be for a job, study or the like, abroad or in foreign study programs. This is normally also the case when applying for a work permit or a work visa. This often requires a certified translation of certain documents, such as the employment contract.
International weddings, as well as divorces, often require a certified translation of the birth certificate or marriage certificate.
For entry into another country, it can also happen that you need a certified translation of your passport or visa.
The same applies to the setting up of a company or the setting up of a branch abroad. Here, too, official documents, such as the articles of association, must usually be translated.
If you also want to open a bank account or apply for a loan abroad, you may have to produce certified translations of certain documents. These often include salary statements, tax certificates or annual financial statements.
For which languages can a certificate be created?
Our translators can produce certified translations in all languages. In addition to the classic world languages such as German, English, Chinese and French, our translation agency is happy to certify for over 132 languages.
How much does a certified translation cost?
The price of a certified translation depends on several factors, including the desired delivery time, language combination and the size of the text. We can give you a precise offer after viewing your documents.

How quickly can a certified translation be provided?
The processing time depends on the length and complexity of the document. We generally offer express translations, which can be completed within 24 to 48 hours.
How do certified translations differ from specialized translations?
A certified translation is produced by an authorized or sworn translator and stamped and signed to confirm its authenticity and conformity with the original. It is required for official purposes, e.g., for government agencies, courts, or universities.
A technical translation, on the other hand, is done by specialized translators who have in-depth knowledge in specific fields such as medicine, law, or technology. It is not necessarily certified, but it is linguistically and technically accurate.
Who is authorized to certify a translation?
Only authorized, sworn, or certified translators may produce a certified translation. They are officially appointed by a court or public authority in Germany and are authorized to affix their signature and stamp to the translation.
