Certified German translation services

Certified German translation for business, education, immigration and citizenship matters, in both directions.

We work with documents from Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Liechtenstein, and with German-speaking clients anywhere in the United States.

German citizenship by descent

Many Americans apply for German citizenship through descent or restoration. These applications typically require US birth, marriage and naturalization records, often with apostilles and German translations. We retrieve, apostille and translate them in one order.

Translations for German authorities

German courts and registry offices often expect translations by a sworn or officially appointed translator (beeidigter Übersetzer). We advise on the format required and arrange it.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a certified German translation cost?

Prices depend on the document, the language pair, the destination country and your deadline, so every request gets its own written quote. Attach your documents if you have them; it makes the quote exact.
