Certified translation accepted by German authorities
Your birth certificate is translated by a translator sworn in Germany, with stamp and signature. In this form the German translation is accepted by the registry office (Standesamt), the immigration office (Ausländerbehörde) and for citizenship applications. This is exactly the “beglaubigte Übersetzung” German institutions usually ask for.
From Ukrainian, Russian, English — and back
Most often we translate birth certificates from Ukrainian and Russian into German — including Soviet-era certificates with handwritten entries and stamps. We also translate German certificates into English, Ukrainian or Russian, for example for consulates or authorities abroad.
How names will be spelled
We match the spelling of names to your existing documents — passport or residence permit — so all your papers are consistent. If an authority requires ISO transliteration, we add it alongside: this way the document is accepted without questions.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where can I get my birth certificate translated in Germany?
Right here, online: you upload a scan, we translate and send the result by post or e-mail. No visit needed — the office is in Bielefeld and works for clients across Germany.
Will German authorities accept the translation?
Yes. The translation is made by a translator sworn in Germany, with stamp and signature — in this form it is accepted by registry offices, immigration offices and other institutions.
Is a scan enough, or do you need the original?
A clearly readable scan or photo is enough. What matters is that all stamps, seals and handwritten entries are visible.
Do I need an apostille on the birth certificate?
An apostille confirms the authenticity of the document itself and is issued by the country that issued the certificate — not by a translation agency. If your certificate carries an apostille, we translate it together with the document — see apostille translation.
How much does a birth certificate translation cost?
49 € incl. VAT for a standard-format document. If your document is longer, we quote the price before we start.
