Common questions

Will German universities accept this translation?
Our diploma translations are produced by court-sworn translators specialising in educational documents, to the requirements German universities ask for — for admissions, recognition checks against anabin / ZAB, and uni-assist applications. The decision to accept it rests with each institution; if it is refused because of an error on our part, we correct it free of charge.
What about PhD certificates?
Yes — PhD certificates are translated and certified as a diploma, at the price shown at checkout. Full dissertations are outside what you can order online; write to us and we will quote the work individually.
Do I need a sworn translation specifically?
In Germany, a certified translation (beglaubigte Übersetzung) is one produced, signed and sealed by a sworn translator — the two are the same thing, and it is what universities and recognition bodies ask for. Every translation we deliver is certified this way, so there is no lesser tier to choose by mistake. If the document is going abroad, check what the receiving body requires.
Can you handle Chinese, Arabic, or Russian diplomas?
Yes. Chinese, Arabic and Russian are in our catalogue alongside Latin-script languages such as Turkish, Polish, French and Spanish, each handled by a court-sworn translator for that language pair. Japanese and Korean are not available at the moment.
How fast can I get it?
Standard certification takes 3–5 business days. Express (48 hours, +€20) and Digital (24 hours, +€40) are available at checkout. Standard and Express include your posted certified original, while Digital is a signed and stamped file to download, with nothing posted. Multi-page documents may need an extra business day.
Who is responsible for the source document?
You are. Upload a clear, complete scan of every page — front, back, and any embossed seal that needs translating. We translate exactly what you provide. Errors or omissions in the original will pass through to the translation.
Do you refund if the institution rejects the translation?
No. The fee covers the work of producing and certifying the translation. Once delivered, it is non-refundable — including if a university or recognition body later refuses it. If the rejection is caused by an error on our part, we correct it free of charge and your statutory rights apply. We cannot guarantee acceptance on your behalf.
