What matters for your certified translation

For a birth certificate, the complete record, names, birth details and any marginal annotations matter. Include the reverse if it contains entries needed for the translation.

Tell us whether the certificate is for registration, a marriage application or another procedure abroad, and include the recipient’s instructions. The receiving institution decides whether a multilingual certificate or another version is sufficient for your purpose.

See the certified translation service for the process. Our birth registration guide explains preparation for that purpose, and original or scan guide covers your files.

Understanding the price and delivery

Certified-translation prices depend on the document type, number of pages and language pair. We agree special format, additional-service or delivery requirements before you place an order. Your individual estimate determines the price for your assignment.

Your original certified translation is sent by post, with standard postal delivery included free. Please agree any additional digital copy and fixed delivery deadline with us beforehand.

Payment on account

Receive your translation first, check it and then pay by invoice.

Free postal delivery

Standard postal delivery of your certified translation is free. Please discuss any special delivery requirements with us beforehand.

Personal advice

We help before, during and after your translation by phone, email or WhatsApp.

Certified translation and personal support

An appropriately sworn or authorized translator signs and stamps the translation to confirm its accuracy and completeness. Tell us the language, document and intended use so that we can check the suitable service.

The receiving institution determines its requirements. A certified translation does not replace certification of a copy or an apostille that may be needed separately. Check the required form beforehand and send us the instructions with your documents.

Your contact is in a language, Sailerwöhr 16, 94032 Passau. Send your documents online from anywhere in Germany. We treat your files confidentially and discuss any open questions with you personally.

Questions about your certified translation

How do I get my birth certificate translated into English?

Select the actual source language, English as the target and Birth certificate as the document type. Supply complete, legible pages, including stamps and relevant reverse sides. Identify the recipient, deadline and required name spellings. The initial online estimate is free; placing an order is a later step in the ordering process.

Is a cropped extract of the birth certificate enough?

Send the complete certificate you have, including stamps, signatures and annotations. For a multilingual or shortened version, check which document the recipient requires.

Is a scan or photograph enough to start?

A complete, legible digital copy is usually enough to begin. Avoid reflections and cropped edges. Please check special requirements or the need for originals with us and the receiving institution beforehand.

How are the price and delivery determined?

Document type, page count and language pair determine the price basis. The initial online estimate is free, instant and available without registration. Your original certified translation is sent by post; please agree any additional digital copy and fixed deadline with us.

Will every institution accept the translation?

The receiving institution determines the form required. Send its instructions with your files. A language or regional variant is not a universal promise of acceptance by every institution in Germany or abroad.
