Certified translations in Cologne: how it works

Cologne (Köln) is Germany's fourth-largest city and the cultural heart of the Rhineland. With a large Turkish, Eastern European, and international student community, certified translations are in constant demand for immigration, university admission, and civil registration at Cologne's authorities.

Cologne's Ausländerbehörde is part of the broader NRW immigration system. Our court-sworn translators produce certified translations accepted by all Cologne and NRW authorities without exception.

100% online: No office visit in Cologne 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. A printed original can be sent by Deutsche Post to any Cologne address for +€15.

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 Cologne authorities. If rejected due to any fault on our part, we redo it at no charge.
