Certified translations

Certified translations

Translations of documents intended for submission to public authorities require a certificate of authentication.
This is always necessary if a text is to be given legal effect in court and before government authorities within Germany as well as within the European Union.

Documents that require certified translation include various types of certificates, documents related to the recognition of diplomas and contracts as well as business and legal documents.

Only sworn, court-appointed translators take care of this challenging task. With their stamp and signature, they guarantee that the content of the original document is reproduced faithfully.
Their signature serves as a legally binding certificate of authenticity for your translation.

espaTrans offers this service to both individual and business customers.
We offer translations from common languages into German and vice versa.
We guarantee the implementation of data protection measures and ensure your privacy throughout the entire process.

We will gladly provide you with a non-binding quotation.
Please kindly keep in mind that we need to see the documents in advance and clarify any questions regarding the content and procedure.
