Your documents translated into German, completed and signed by a sworn translator (beeidigter or ermächtigter Übersetzer), within 2 working days.
A sworn German translation, or beglaubigte Übersetzung, is what German authorities usually want when you hand them a foreign document: a translation by a sworn translator rather than by any professional translator. VisaDocTranslation's German translations are completed and signed by a sworn translator (beeidigter or ermächtigter Übersetzer), at £48.00 per page with delivery within 2 working days.
Requirements vary between German offices, so confirm what the authority receiving your documents needs before you order.

A beglaubigte Übersetzung is a translation into German completed and signed by a sworn translator, known as a beeidigter or ermächtigter Übersetzer, who confirms it is complete and accurate.
In Germany, translators are sworn in or authorised before they can certify translations for official use, and German offices generally expect that status on translations of foreign documents. If a German office has asked you for a "certified German translation", this is usually what it means. The UK trusts a signed statement of accuracy; Germany prefers an oath. Both work, just not interchangeably. Our German translations are completed and signed by a sworn translator, and every order is quality-checked before delivery.
Commonly for registering a marriage or birth, residence and visa applications, recognition of UK qualifications, university applications and notarial or property matters. Confirm the requirement with the receiving office first.
These are common uses, not a list of authorities that have approved our translations. Each German office sets its own requirements, and some are particular about the form in which they receive a sworn translation. Check with them, and tell us what they've asked for when you upload your documents.
A Standesamt registering a marriage will typically want your birth certificate and, if you've been married before, a divorce certificate. Recognition of a UK qualification starts with your degree certificate and transcripts, and if you need a driving licence translated, ask the licensing office what it expects first.

Often, for UK public documents such as birth and marriage certificates, but it depends on the office. We don't issue apostilles, so check with the receiving authority and arrange it before ordering the translation.
If your document needs an apostille, get it on the original first. You can then send us the document with the apostille attached, and the apostille certificate is translated along with it. Do it the other way round and you may end up ordering a second translation just for the apostille, which is the paperwork equivalent of buying the same train ticket twice. Our apostille translation page explains the process in more detail.
