A certified translation your authority will accept.
Stamped and signed by a court-sworn translator, ordered tonight — no quote wait.
Not ‘a translation’ — a document your counterparty will accept without a second look.
What this is
A certified (sworn) translation is produced by a translator who has been sworn in before a German court and is authorised to certify that a translation is complete and accurate. The finished document carries that translator’s stamp, signature and a certification statement — the format German registry offices, courts, universities and embassies expect to see.
We handle the documents people need most often: birth, marriage and death certificates, diplomas and academic transcripts, driving licences, court judgments, powers of attorney and business registration documents. Tell us the receiving authority when you order and we’ll confirm the exact format they require before we start.
You don’t need to request a quote first. The price is fixed per certified page, so you can order directly, upload or bring in your document, and know the total before you commit.

See the language directory →Frequently asked questions
Will this be accepted by the authority I need it for?
Tell us the receiving authority when you order — the certification format for a Standesamt, a court and a university can differ slightly, and we confirm the right one before we start.
Can I get the original by post?
Yes — select certified hard copy by post at checkout (€9.90 within Germany, €19.90 within the EU). Digital PDF delivery is free and included by default.
Do I need an apostille too?
Only if the receiving country requires it — we offer apostille handling as an add-on (€89.00/document) if you tell us it’s needed.
What counts as "one certified page"?
Up to 250 words of source text. Longer documents are simply billed per additional page — the configurator calculates this once you know your word count, or we confirm it from your uploaded file.
Can I collect it in person instead of waiting for post?
Yes — Elkenbachstraße 46, Frankfurt am Main, Mon–Fri 08:00–18:00, Sat 09:00–16:00 by appointment.
