What Is a Certified Translation by a Court-Sworn Translator?

A certified translation is prepared by a court-sworn translator who confirms the accuracy and completeness of the translation.

The certification normally includes a certification statement, the translator's stamp and signature.

Certified translations are frequently required when foreign-language documents are submitted to government authorities, courts, universities and other official institutions.

Relevant stamps, seals, signatures, handwritten entries and official annotations are also taken into account during the translation process.

The precise formal requirements depend on the receiving institution and the purpose for which the translation is needed.

Kitz Global provides certified translations for a wide range of official, academic, professional and corporate documents.

Whether you are submitting documents to a Bürgeramt, Standesamt, the Berlin State Office for Immigration (Landesamt für Einwanderung) or another authority, the receiving institution determines which documents and translations are required.
