SWORN TRANSLATIONS FOR GERMANY, AUSTRIA AND SWITZERLAND
Every sworn German translator in our extensive network of translators is a native speaker and sworn in a court of law and can provide translations which take into account the differences between the German language used in Austria and Switzerland and Hochdeutsch (standard German as used in Germany). The certified translator can even pay attention to the smaller differences between the north and the south of Germany if you want them to. However, when it comes to official documents, for example for German authorities, this is not necessary.

I needed a sworn translation of a document in a hurry. What immediately impressed me was that there was someone available on instant chat about my needs, even though it was 22:30 in the evening, and I received a quote for the work within minutes. The whole process was extremely efficiently handled, and I was able to get the process underway almost instantly.

SOME REASONS YOU NEED A SWORN TRANSLATOR GERMAN
In Germany, a sworn translator (beeidigter/vereidigter Übersetzer) is authorized by the courts to provide translations that are legally binding. A sworn German translator in Germany is registered at the Ministry of Justice. You may need a sworn German translator for a variety of legal or official documents that require accurate and certified translations. Here are some examples of when you might need a sworn translator in Germany:
- Legal documents: If you have legal documents that need to be submitted to a court, such as contracts, court orders, or patents, you may need a sworn translator to translate these documents into German or another language.
- Personal documents: If you have personal documents such as birth certificates, marriage certificates, or diplomas that need to be translated for official purposes, you may need a sworn translator to provide a certified translation.
- Business documents: If you are doing business in Germany and need to provide documents such as financial statements or employment contracts in another language, you may need a sworn translator to provide a certified translation.
Immigration documents: If you are immigrating to Germany, you may need to provide translations of documents such as visas, passports, and residence permits. In some cases, these translations may need to be certified by a sworn German translator.
Sworn German translations for official documents
German authorities often are accused of using too much red tape. Whether that is true from the standpoint of the Germans doesn’t matter if you are making your home in Germany or decide to apply for a job there. Certain official documents simply have to be translated to German, otherwise they will not be accepted by the German authorities. In this case it is always prudent to use a sworn German translator who will sign off on the translation with not only their signature on the translation itself but on an accompanying declaration including a stamp as well. German authorities will definitely accept that. These kinds of documents may include
- Passport
- Driver’s licence
- Birth certificate
Businesses that want to expand to Germany will also have to handle their share of red tape and are urged to choose a certified translator German for the translation of business documents such as permits and financial statements for the German IRS.
Sworn Translation German to Italian
A sworn translation, also known as a certified or official translation, is a translation that is accompanied by a signed statement from a sworn translator, affirming the accuracy and completeness of the translation. A sworn translation German to Italian is often required for legal, official, or administrative purposes. For a sworn translation German to Italian we have sworn translators in Germany and in Italy as well. The sworn translation German to Italian add an extra layer of authentication and are often necessary when dealing with legal, official, or regulatory matters. It is essential to check the specific requirements of the relevant authorities in Italy to ensure compliance with their standards for sworn translations.
FAQ
Your translation questions answered
What is a sworn translation?
A sworn translation is a translation carried out by a sworn German translator. You will always receive the physical copy of the translation by post and the scanned document by e-mail. A sworn German translator has taken an oath and is registered with the court as someone who is able to deliver truthful translations for a specific language pair. A sworn translation contains the stamp of the translator and his or her statement that the translation has been translated to the best of his/her ability and as truthfully as possible. You will need a sworn translation if a government agency or other official body requires a translation of an official document, such as your passport, driver’s license or diploma.
When do I need a sworn translation?
You will need a sworn translation for official documents that you have to show or submit to a government agency or other official body. If you are unsure whether or not a sworn translation is required, we advise you to check this with the authorities concerned. For use in the Netherlands, a sworn translation by a sworn German translator registered in the Netherlands will be sufficient. For use abroad, you may also need an apostille or even legalisation at Foreign Affairs and the relevant embassy.
Is a sworn translation the same as a certified translation?
Strictly speaking, a sworn translation is not the same as a certified translation. A sworn German translator is appointed in his or her personal capacity as a capable translator. By adding his or her stamp and statement to a translation, a translation is sworn. A certified translation means that the translation is certified by a third party as a true representation of the source document. This third party may be a notary, a lawyer, or a translation agency. Some countries, such as Portugal, do not have sworn translations and mainly work with certified translations. In the Netherlands, on the other hand, sworn translations are common. Are you not sure whether you need a sworn or a certified translation? Please feel free to contact us.
What is a certified translation?
A certified translation is a translation that is certified by a third party as a true representation of the source document. This third party may be a notary, a lawyer, or a translation agency. Unlike with a sworn translation, a certified translation is not necessarily carried out by someone who is authorised by a court or government to translate official documents in their personal capacity. Some countries, such as Portugal, do not have sworn translations and mainly work with certified translations. In the Netherlands, on the other hand, sworn translations are common.
