German

Document translation into German

We translate documents into German for study, work, relocation and family matters in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. We offer notarised and sworn translation; the institution you are submitting to will tell you which one you need.

  • From 45 BYN per 1,800 characters
  • Standard translation: 2–3 working days
  • Sworn translation: 5–7 working days

Certification

Which German translation Germany accepts

Usually a sworn translation. In our experience, Germany, Austria and Switzerland do not always accept a notarised one. The recipient will give you a definite answer.

  • Notarised translation

    Our translator does the translation and a Belarusian notary certifies their signature. Turnaround is 2–3 working days, and the original is needed for notarisation. If required, an apostille can be added to the notarised translation. Learn more

  • Sworn translation

    A translation bearing a sworn translator’s seal. A photo of the document is enough, and turnaround is 5–7 working days. We post the original translation to Belarus or any European country. Learn more
