Frequently asked questions about certified translation
What is a certified translation?
A court-appointed sworn translator confirms with their stamp and signature that the translation is complete and accurate.
Will the translation be accepted?
Yes, by courts and authorities in Germany. For use abroad, an Apostille or legalisation may also be required.
Who does the translation?
Independent, court-appointed sworn translators. firma.de guides you digitally from the upload to the finished translation.
Which documents can I have translated?
More than 300 types of document, from certificates and civil status documents to ID documents, contracts and extracts from the Handelsregister.
Do I get the translation digitally or by post?
As a PDF, and by post as well if you wish. Some authorities want the paper copy with the original stamp, in which case choose delivery by post.
How long does a certified translation take?
It depends on the length and the language. You can place your order in a few minutes.
What is the difference from a simple translation?
Anyone can produce a simple translation. It carries no confirmation, and authorities and courts usually do not accept it.
