ENGLISH TO GERMAN TRANSLATORS BERLIN – CERTIFIED TRANSLATIONS

If it is a simple document such as a birth, death or marriage certificate, a certificate of good conduct or a diploma, it is likely that the processing will only take a day or two. We will then deliver the English to German translation directly by post so that you can keep the original certified English to German translation with stamp and signature permanently with you. However, we cannot influence the time it takes for the post to be delivered.

To save you the time it takes to send your English to German translation by post, we can offer you to pick up your translation directly from a colleague in Berlin. This will speed up the processing of your English to German certified translation. Alternatively, we can send you a scan of the certified translation so that you can forward it in advance by email and submit the original a afterwards.

No, you can also send us a copy or a photo. We print it out and make a note on the translation that we have made the certified translation from the document submitted in the attachment. You can then present the original to the relevant office so that the person responsible can check that the attachment and your original are both identical. The advantage of this is that your original remains undamaged because we do not have to pin our certified English to German translation directly to the original.

As sworn English to German translators, we are liable for the accuracy of our translations. Unfortunately, we cannot simply put our stamp of certification on third-party translations. This is due to the fact that certified English to German translations must be created in accordance with ISO standards and, for example, even the layout must be adapted. Even if your English to German translation is correct, we would at least have to proofread it, put it into the right form and bring it to the post office.

Both legalisation and the Hague Apostille confirm the authenticity of the signature and the authority of the issuer of the document.

In the case of legalisation, this is done by the consular officer of the state in which the document is to be used. 

In the case of the Hague Apostille, on the other hand, this is done by the corresponding authority of the state by which the document was issued. 

Mutual legalisation is often no longer necessary due to international treaties and is replaced by the Hague Apostille.

Translation is the transfer of a written text into another language in written form. Interpreting is the oral translation of the spoken word into another language.
