German documents we translate
German civil records come from the registry office (Standesamt): a Geburtsurkunde for a birth, an Eheurkunde for a marriage, a Sterbeurkunde for a death. Since 2009 the older certificate of descent (Abstammungsurkunde) has been replaced by a certified printout from the birth register, which shows more detail than the certificate it replaced. Austria and Switzerland issue German-language records in their own layouts, and we translate those as well.
We also translate police certificates (Führungszeugnis), school and university records, employment references and driving licenses.
Grades are reproduced, not converted
German school and university records use a scale from 1 to 6 in which 1 is the best mark — the reverse of a US scale — and a school-leaving certificate (Abiturzeugnis) also carries a points total. A translation reproduces what the document says. Turning those marks into a US grade point average is credential evaluation, a separate service performed by an evaluation agency, and a translator who did it would be inventing content.
What we deliver is a faithful English version the admissions office or evaluator can read, with the original grading scale intact.
Documents from Germany
Each of these pages describes the document as Germany issues it — the authority, the format, the annotations and what offices in the United States ask for: Birth Certificate · Marriage Certificate · Divorce Decree · Certificate of Conduct · Academic Transcript · University Diploma · Articles of Incorporation · Bank Statement · Death Certificate · Disability Certificate · Driver's license · Expert Report · Lease Agreement · Legal Separation · Medical Records · Name Change · Identity Card (Personalausweis) · Passport · Paternity Acknowledgment · Power of Attorney · Property Deed · Vehicle Title.
How it works
Upload a photo or a scan of your document, pick the language pair and check out online. You never have to mail originals: a legible copy is all we need.
A professional human translator, never machine translation, translates the document word for word and mirrors the layout of the original. Every certified translation ships with a signed Certificate of Translation Accuracy that meets the requirements of USCIS, courts and universities.
Your translation is delivered digitally, usually within 24 hours for documents of one to three pages, and same-day delivery is available. If anything needs adjusting, we revise it.
Certified vs. standard translation
A certified translation is a word-for-word translation accompanied by a signed statement attesting to its accuracy and completeness. It is what official bodies require: USCIS, courts, universities and government agencies. Certified translations are $24.95 per page, where one sheet of your document is one page, with no word cap.
A standard translation is the same professional human translation without the certificate, for when you only need to understand the content or for internal or informal use. It is billed at the same $24.95 per page with no word cap.
Frequently asked questions
Do you convert my German grades into a US GPA?
No. We translate the transcript exactly as issued, including the grading scale. Converting grades is credential evaluation, which an evaluation agency performs.
Can you translate a Führungszeugnis?
Yes. German police certificates are translated in full, including the closing statement when no entries are recorded.
My documents are from Austria or Switzerland.
We translate them too. The layouts and some of the terminology differ from German records, and the translation follows the document in front of us.
