Specialised Certified Translations for Use in Germany
Translating documents for official use in Germany requires a specific type of certification. Germany operates with the institution of a sworn translator (vereidigter Übersetzer). This is a person officially appointed by a local court to certify translations as legally valid. A translation certified by a sworn translator is considered a legal document in Germany.
This process is crucial for documents issued in the UK, such as:
- Birth, marriage, and death certificates from the Registry Office.
- Business statements and documents from Companies House.
- Educational qualifications for university admissions or job applications.
We work with certified sworn translators who prepare and certify your documents in the correct format for acceptance in Germany. The below video outlines this process:
