Ich bin eine treue Kundin von Galina Loheit schon seit ca. 10 Jahren. Ich bin stets sowohl mit dem Service als auch mit der Qualität der Übersetzung sehr zufrieden. Auch die zuständigen Behörden hatten nie Einwände. Galina kennt sich in den Anforderungen zu den Übersetzungen in Deutschland und Russland wirklich sehr gut aus. Ich kann sie nur weiter empfehlen.

Frequently asked questions about
interpreting at a marriage ceremony (FAQ)
When is an interpreter required at the civil wedding?
An interpreter is required when one of the persons getting married does not have a sufficient command of the German language. In such cases, it must be ensured that all content of the wedding is fully understood. The registry office decides on a case-by-case basis about the need for an interpreter to guarantee a legally sound conduct of the ceremony.
Does the interpreter need to be sworn?
Yes. For civil weddings, a sworn interpreter is required by law so that the marriage is legally valid. Only in this way can it be ensured that all legally relevant content is fully and correctly understood. The use of a sworn interpreter also protects both spouses from misunderstandings and legal uncertainties.
Do you also assist with the recognition of a marriage?
Yes. We support you both at the civil wedding and with the recognition in Germany of a marriage concluded abroad. We assist with the translation and preparation of the required documents and advise you on the formal requirements. We ensure that all documents can be submitted completely and correctly to the competent authorities.
A civil wedding is a very personal moment. What matters to me is not only to accompany the couple linguistically but also to be at their side with warmth and attentiveness. When people feel understood and in good hands, a relaxed atmosphere is created – and that is precisely what contributes to a beautiful and dignified conduct of the ceremony.

Do you also translate the required documents?
Yes. We prepare certified translations of all documents needed before or after the wedding.

We pay attention to formal accuracy and the respective requirements of the competent authorities, so that your documents can be used without delay.
