What Are Certified German Translations—and When Do You Need Them?
Certified German translations are officially recognized translations of documents that require legal validity. These are not just word-for-word translations—they are prepared, signed, and stamped by sworn or court-authorized German translators, who confirm the accuracy and completeness of the translation.
In Germany, certified translations must be issued by a translator who has been sworn in by a regional court (Landgericht). In the U.S. and other countries, the rules can vary, but our translations are accepted by many authorities thanks to our close cooperation with certified professionals in both jurisdictions.
You typically need a certified German translation for:
- Immigration and visa applications
- Academic records and university admissions
- Birth, marriage, and death certificates
- Employment or work permit applications
- Court decisions and legal contracts
- Driver’s licenses, diplomas, and official letters
At Teck Language Solutions, we understand the strict requirements of both U.S. and German institutions. That’s why we work only with qualified translators who are familiar with legal formats and standards—ensuring your translation is not only accurate, but also formally correct and legally accepted.
