Native German translators
Translators who know the paperwork, not just the language
Our German translators are native speakers who have been tested on the German and English pair. They work with civil registry records, school transcripts and court documents written in German every day.
You review the translation before it is final, and we follow any spelling you give us for names and places. Certified translations are accepted by USCIS, and we back that with our 100% USCIS translation acceptance guarantee.

What to know about German documents
- Names and places
- Names, places and official titles are kept as written, with accents and special characters preserved. If you spell your name differently on your US documents, tell us at checkout and we will note it.
- Stamps, seals and handwriting
- Everything on the page is translated, including stamps, seals, marginal notes and handwritten entries, so the recipient sees a complete record.
- Regional formats
- German documents are issued by different registries and authorities, each with its own layout and headings. Our translators know the terminology, so nothing is guessed.
German documents we translate
Pick the document you have. Some have a page written for German records; the rest open the general document page, which covers the same service.
Who is asking for your German translation?
The translation is the same. What changes is whether the recipient wants anything added to it.
USCIS
USCIS asks for a complete English translation and a signed certification from the translator. No notarization is needed.
US passports and the Department of State
The Department of State wants the translation notarized. Add notarization at checkout and we handle the rest.
Consulates and authorities abroad
Sending a US document abroad? We translate from English into German and can add an apostille for Hague Convention countries.
