Special requirements for certified translations
What are the most important points to consider for a certified translation? You can certify different types of documents: An original, a certified photocopy or a simple photocopy. The certification formula must mention the type of document.
All stamps and additions (such as certification marks, apostille, handwritten additions, etc.) are translated. If the translator has to omit something, he must explicitly mention these omissions. If a signature or a handwritten text passage is illegible, the translator adds the words “illegible” [„unleserlich”] to his translation.
Translator’s annotations are written at the appropriate place in the document or as a footnote and are marked with the addition “Translator’s note” [„Anm. d. Übers.“]. These annotations come into question in the case of anomalies in the original document or when translating special content, designation, technical terms or concepts for which there is no 100% equivalent in the target language.
At the end of the translation comes the attestation formula. These annotations come into question in the case of anomalies in the original document or when translating special content, designations, technical terms or concepts for which there is no 100% equivalent in the target language.
At the end of the translation comes the attestation formula. It reads: “The accuracy and completeness of the translation (or partial translation) of the original (or certified photocopy, uncertified photocopy) submitted to me – is hereby certified.” The same shall apply mutatis mutandis if the translation is into a foreign language.
.After that comes the place and time of production of the translation. The certifying translator prints his service seal and signs.
In special cases, we can have the certified translation additionally notarized for you. The notary certifies the translator’s signature and also certifies that the translator is publicly appointed.

FAQ
These questions are often asked in connection with certified translations
To get the certification recognized, the translator must comply with a number of formalities. First of all, not everyone is allowed to certify. Only translators sworn and appointed in Germany are allowed to certify in Germany. They have taken a general oath at a district court, higher regional court or an interior authority. The district court has examined their qualifications for the respective target language and then sworn them in. These translators may certify translations of documents only for the language combination for which they are certified, even if they are proficient in other languages. Each district court maintains a list of document translators licensed in its area.
The certified translation must be bound together if it is spread over several sheets. To do this, you can fold and staple the corners of the sheets or sew them together with stitching thread. This will prevent pages from being added or removed later.
In some situations, the translation of an official document is only recognized abroad if the document is provided with an apostille. An apostille is an authentication. The function of the apostille (according to the 1961 Hague Convention) is:
- to confirm the authenticity of the signature of the person issuing the document.
- to confirm the authenticity of the seal of the sworn translator
- to confirm the authority of the signatory to issue the document.
