Below is a redacted sample of what our certified translation looks like:
When you need to submit documents for official applications in the UK, Germany, or other countries, a certified translation is often required. Our certified translations are widely accepted by government bodies and institutions, including the UK Home Office, Passport Office, and Registry Offices.
- Official Documents: We provide certified translations of a wide range of personal documents, including birth certificates (Geburtsurkunde), marriage certificates (Heiratsurkunde), academic diplomas, and police records.

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:
