Common questions

What types of certificates do you translate?
Anything official — vocational, language, professional licences, association memberships, awards, recognition documents, and more. If it's printed on official letterhead with seals, we translate it.
Will my certificate be recognised in Germany?
The translation is a certified record of the original. Recognition of the underlying qualification is a separate process — decided by the IHK, the relevant chamber or another competent body, and you can check how it is assessed against anabin / ZAB. We can advise during checkout.
Do you handle multi-page certificates?
Yes. One order covers one certificate, however many pages it runs to, at the fixed price shown at checkout — we do not charge per page. Upload every page, including anything printed on the reverse.
Can I add an apostille?
Not yet. An apostille authenticates the original document and is issued by the authority in the country that produced it. We are working on arranging it end to end — until then we translate and certify, and you obtain the apostille at source.
Who is responsible for the source document?
You are. It's your responsibility to upload an accurate, complete, and legible scan — every page, stamp, and marginal note. We translate exactly what you provide. Errors or omissions in the original carry through to the translation.
Do you refund if the authority rejects the translation?
No. The fee covers the production and certification of the translation. Once the work is delivered, it is non-refundable — including if a receiving authority 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. Final acceptance always rests with the receiving body, not with us.

Court-sworn, every time

Every translation is produced by a translator sworn before a German regional court (Landgericht or Oberlandesgericht) — the same certified process behind every order.
