Frequently Asked Questions for Interpreters / Translators
What is a certified translation? Do I need a court interpreter?
In Germany, the colloquial term certified translation refers to a translation whose accuracy and completeness have been confirmed by a sworn translator with their signature and personal stamp. You normally need this confirmation when submitting documents to public bodies, authorities, and educational institutions. Whether the responsible authority requires a certified translation in your case is best checked directly with that authority.
Unlike in Germany, translators in Russia, Ukraine, and other countries of the former Soviet Union are not sworn in. There, the accuracy of translations is certified by notaries. We are happy to advise you on certification rules and will prepare certified translations for you.
How can I order a translation online?
Do you not live in Berlin or do you not have time to bring your documents to the translation agency in person? Then simply order a translation conveniently online! Use the contact form or write us an e-mail at info@berlintc.de. Attach the documents for translation as an attachment to your message. Then you only need to come in once to collect your translation – or we are happy to send it to you by post.
How can I pay for the translation?
Payment is only possible in cash or by bank transfer. Smaller orders can be paid after completion. For larger orders, we ask for an advance payment of 50% of the amount. We are also happy to accept bank transfers. The payment method can be arranged flexibly – simply get in touch with us!
What does a certified translation cost? Russian, German, or another language?
For common documents (birth certificates, identity documents, residence permits, etc.) we have fixed prices. For less common documents, the translation price depends on the scope and workload involved. Contact us to request a free quote!
What is an apostille? Do I need an apostille on my translation?
An apostille is an international form of authentication. It is used when you have a document issued in one country and wish to present it in another country. For example, the Russian consulate in Berlin requires apostilles on all German documents to be submitted there. The Ukrainian consulate additionally requires an apostille on the translation. Whether you need an apostille for your documents is best clarified directly with the relevant authority.
Apostilles are issued by the authority at the place where the document was issued. For a Berlin birth certificate, you can obtain an apostille in Berlin. If your document was issued in another federal state or another country, you will need to go there for an apostille. A public fee is charged for the issuance of an apostille.
We are happy to advise you on apostilles and the responsible authorities, and we will apply for apostilles on your behalf for a fee.
