What matters for your certified translation

A certified translation combines the translated contents with a sworn or authorized translator’s confirmation of accuracy and completeness, including a signature and stamp. It may be needed for submission to an institution, university or other recipient.

To match the service to your purpose, we need complete files, the source and target languages and the intended use. Our document guides explain which pages, annotations and names matter for each record.

You do not need to send a general enquiry before estimating the price: choose the languages and document in the existing online shop. The first estimate is free and does not place an order. We can help personally with unclear instructions.

Start with a birth certificate, marriage certificate or school record. The language directory leads to the relevant language; general marriage certificate information is also available.

Languages for your certified translation

Choose the relevant language. When requesting an estimate, also specify the source and target language for your document.

Source and target languages go together: an English certificate for a German institution needs a different direction from a German school record for an English-speaking recipient. Choose both languages explicitly.

The language guides help you prepare your files. For regional variants, also identify the issuing country, required output and actual recipient. Its instructions determine the form needed.
