Certified translations in Berlin: how it works

Berlin is Germany's most international city, with residents from over 190 countries. The Landesamt für Einwanderung (LEA) — Berlin's immigration authority — processes more residence permit applications than any other office in Germany. Certified translations are a daily requirement for Berliners navigating immigration paperwork, civil registration at one of Berlin's 45 Standesamt offices, naturalisation proceedings, or qualification recognition.

Every certified translation submitted to a Berlin authority must be produced by a translator court-sworn (ermächtigt or vereidigt) by a German Landgericht. At Transzlate, all our translators hold this appointment. You upload your document online, we translate and certify it, and a PDF arrives in your inbox within 3–4 business days — or the next business day with Express 24h for English, Spanish, and Italian.

100% online: No office visit in Berlin 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 Berlin 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 Berlin authorities. If rejected due to any fault on our part, we redo it at no charge.
