Certified translations in Hamburg: how it works

Hamburg is Germany's second-largest city and one of Europe's busiest ports. As a major international trade hub, Hamburg has one of Germany's most diverse immigrant communities. Certified translations are a daily need at Hamburg's Einwohnerzentralamt, the Behörde für Arbeit, Soziales, Familie und Integration, and Hamburg's civil courts.

Hamburg's Einwohnerzentralamt (EZA) handles all immigration matters — residence permits, Blue Cards, family reunification, and naturalisation. Unlike Berlin's LEA, Hamburg has implemented a partly online document submission system that accepts certified PDFs for many application types.

100% online: No office visit in Hamburg required. Photograph your document and upload it — our sworn translators work remotely.

Certified PDF by email: Your translation arrives as a certified PDF in your inbox. For printed originals, free shipping to any Hamburg address by Deutsche Post.

Pay securely online via Stripe: Simple secure payment. Receive your translation first, then pay within 14 days.

100% acceptance guarantee: Our translations are accepted by all Hamburg authorities. If rejected due to any fault on our part, we redo it at no charge.
