In Germany, notaries are not responsible for certifying translations. Therefore, certified translations are not created by notaries, but by state-certified/sworn translators. For a certified translation of your certificates, diplomas, and other official documents, you do not need a notary. Wenn du unsicher bist, frage bitte die zuständigen Sachbearbeiter:innen: „Reicht eine beglaubigte Übersetzung meines Dokuments von einem vereidigten Übersetzer aus?“

A certified translation confirms that the translation is accurate and complete in content, matching the original text. This certification is confirmed by state-certified/sworn translators with their signature and a stamp or seal, and it holds legal validity. 

A certified copy, on the other hand, is unrelated to translations. It simply confirms that a copy of a document has been made and that this copy matches the original document. The certified copy aims to prevent counterfeit copies and may only be issued by certain officials such as notaries, judges, authorities, universities, schools, etc.

Yes, our certified translations are prepared by state-sworn translators from Germany and are therefore fundamentally recognized by all German offices. A notarization of the translation is not necessary in Germany. We still recommend that you check with the responsible case officers at the office: "Is a certified translation by translators who are state-sworn and authorized in Germany accepted?"

Yes, since our certified translations are prepared by state-sworn translators from Germany, they are fundamentally accepted by all German authorities as well. We still recommend that you check with the responsible case officers at the authority: "Is a certified translation by translators who are state-sworn and authorized in Germany accepted?"

Yes, our certified translations are also recognized by all German courts. A notarization of the translation for courts is not necessary in Germany. Sometimes judges may wish to commission court-appointed translators to provide another certified translation. We therefore recommend that you ask the responsible case officers: "Is a certified translation by translators who are state-sworn and authorized in Germany accepted?"

If it concerns a country or an authority of the European Union, the certified translations by MyBeglaubigung are fundamentally recognized. The legal basis for this is EU Regulation No. 2016/1191. You can find a list of all EU countries here. We still recommend asking the country's consulate/embassy beforehand: "Are certifications by translators who are state-sworn and authorized in Germany accepted?" We recommend the same for non-EU countries.

Example: A driver’s license/ID card has a front side (Photo 1) and a back side (Photo 2).
