What matters for your certified translation
For a marriage certificate, names before and after marriage, locations and additional entries may matter. Tell us which name spellings the recipient uses.
Name records, registration and visa procedures may require different supporting documents. Identify the actual recipient and include its instructions. This page describes the translation service; our marriage-certificate guide explains preparation and possible uses.
Use our marriage certificate guide for background and the guide to registering a marriage abroad for that procedure. The service overview explains ordering.

How to get your certified translation
Choose languages and document
Choose the source and target languages and the document type for your free initial estimate.
Provide complete files
Send legible pages, including reverse sides, stamps and annotations. Tell us the recipient’s requirements and your preferred deadline.
Check the price and confirm
Check the document type, volume and VAT. The estimate alone does not place an order; you commission the translation only when you confirm it.
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 a certified translation of my marriage certificate?
Choose Marriage certificate and the required source and target languages. Supply all required pages, including name annotations, stamps and relevant reverse sides. Identify the recipient, purpose and deadline. Review the free estimate and agree any special requirements before placing a binding order.
What matters when the marriage certificate records a name change?
Include every name entry and marginal annotation. The recipient specifies any additional evidence needed about names; we agree the files to translate with you.
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.
