Wondering where to translate official documents in Germany? If you need to submit a foreign-language document to a German authority, court, university or another official institution, you may require a certified translation by an appropriately qualified sworn or authorised translator.
Kitz Global has specialized in certified translations of official documents since 2005. We provide certified translations in virtually all languages for private clients, companies and institutions throughout Germany.
Whether you need to translate a birth certificate, marriage certificate, criminal record certificate, diploma, driving licence, court judgment or another official document, you normally do not need to visit a translation agency in person.
Simply upload a clear scan or high-quality photograph of your document, find out the price and expected delivery time and order your certified translation online.
If a foreign document needs to be submitted to a German authority or institution, a normal translation may not be sufficient.
Depending on the document and purpose, the receiving institution may require a certified translation prepared by an appropriately qualified translator.
In Germany, translators authorised to certify translations are subject to the applicable rules and terminology of the relevant jurisdiction. You may therefore encounter terms such as sworn translator, authorised translator or publicly appointed translator.
For you as the customer, the decisive question is whether the translator and certification are appropriate for the authority or institution receiving your document.
Kitz Global specializes in certified translations and can arrange the appropriate translation for numerous languages and document types.
Getting your official documents translated for use in Germany is straightforward:
With us, you will receive a non-binding quote for the certified translation of your document in just one minute. Upload a scan or photo, find out the price and delivery time immediately and place your order. You will receive the certified translation for Germany as a scan at the specified time and afterwards by post if you wish.
For an individual offer for many documents, personal advice or in case you want to pay by bank transfer, please contact us by e-mail, you will receive a response within 10 minutes, even on weekends.
Certified translations are frequently required when documents issued outside Germany need to be used for an official procedure.
Typical documents include:
Whether certification is required depends on the document, procedure and receiving institution.
This is one of the most common reasons customers contact Kitz Global.
You may have a document issued in another country that now needs to be submitted in Germany.
For example:
Depending on the procedure, a certified German translation may be required.
When submitting your request, tell us where the document will be used whenever possible.
Yes. In many cases, the ordering process can be handled completely online.
You normally do not need to find a translation office nearby or personally deliver your documents.
With Kitz Global, the process is simple:
Upload your document → get your price and delivery time → order online → receive your certified translation.
This is particularly useful if you require an uncommon language combination or cannot easily find an appropriately qualified translator in your area.
For many certified translations, a clear scan or high-quality photograph is sufficient to start the translation process.
The requirements of the receiving institution should be checked separately.
Many standard documents can be translated and certified within 24–48 hours, depending on the language combination, length and complexity.

Your expected delivery time is provided before you place your online order.
Kitz Global provides certified translations in virtually all major languages.
You may also need a certified translation when a document issued in Germany is intended for use in another country.
Frequently translated German documents include:
In these cases, the requirements of the destination country and receiving authority are particularly important.
Tell us where your translation will be submitted so that the intended use can be taken into account.
A certified translation and an apostille serve different purposes.
A certified translation confirms the translated content of a document.
An apostille is a separate form of authentication used for certain documents in international procedures.
Whether an apostille or legalisation is required depends on factors including:
Not every foreign document submitted in Germany requires an apostille.
If an apostille is attached to the document and forms part of the material being submitted, it may also need to be included in the translation.
You do not necessarily need a translator physically located in your city.
Our online certified translation service is available to customers throughout Germany, including:
Berlin – Munich – Hamburg – Frankfurt – Cologne – Düsseldorf – Stuttgart – Leipzig – Dresden – Hanover – Nuremberg – Bremen and throughout Germany.
Your document can be submitted electronically, allowing the appropriate translator to be selected according to your language combination and requirements rather than simply physical proximity.
