Employment Reference for Germany
Employment reference letters, work certificates and employer confirmations — certified for German job applications, immigration and professional licence recognition.
When do you need a certified employment reference translation?
A certified translation of your employment reference is required whenever you need to submit it to a German authority — the Ausländerbehörde, Standesamt, courts, universities or employers. German authorities cannot accept foreign-language documents without a certified German translation produced by a court-sworn translator.
