Common questions

Which certificates do you translate?
Police clearance certificates, criminal-record extracts and certificates of good conduct from any country, as long as the certificate is in one of the languages in our catalogue: English, German, Arabic, Turkish, French, Spanish, Russian, Chinese or Polish. We translate them into German or English, including a German Führungszeugnis into English.
My certificate is only valid for a few months. Does the translation extend that?
No. Many offices accept a police certificate only if it was issued recently, and that period is set by the office, not by the translation. A certified translation carries the issue date of the original, so check the office's time limit and order the translation soon after you receive the certificate.
My certificate was issued online. Can you translate it?
Yes. Many countries issue police certificates as PDF files with a verification code or QR code. Upload the PDF as you received it; the code and any verification note are rendered in the translation. Whether a printout of an online certificate is accepted is the receiving office's decision.
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.
Is my certificate kept confidential?
Always. All documents are encrypted at rest and in transit, only your assigned translator can see the original, and your documents are permanently deleted 30 days after delivery. We never train AI on your data.
Who is responsible for the source document?
You are. Upload every page, including the back if anything is printed or stamped on it. We translate exactly what we receive — missing pages or illegible passages will be reflected as such in the translation.
Do you refund if the office rejects the translation?
No. The fee covers the production and certification of the translation by a court-sworn translator. Once delivered, it is non-refundable — including if an embassy, employer or other office 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.
