Services
Everything a document needs to be valid in its destination country.
-
Certified Translations
Accepted by authorities, courts and universities
In Germany, a certified translation is prepared by a court-authorised (sworn) translator and bears a certification statement, signature and seal.
-
Apostille
For all member states of the Hague Convention
An apostille certifies the authenticity of a public document for use in another state party to the 1961 Hague Apostille Convention – including Turkey, the USA, the UK and nearly all EU states.
-
Legalization
Pre-authentication, embassy and consulate
Many countries – including numerous states in the Middle East, Africa and Asia – do not accept apostilles.
-
Document Retrieval
Documents from Germany and abroad
Do you need a birth certificate from your home country, an up-to-date register extract or a copy of a judgment – but have no time or no way to visit the authority yourself? We obtain certificates and register extracts from German and foreign authorities, with your power of attorney where legally permitted, and can handle translation and apostille straight away.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a certified translation or apostille cost?
Costs depend on the document, language, destination country and urgency. That's why we prepare an individual, free fixed-price quote for every request.
Do I have to come in person?
No. We work across Germany by email and post. If originals are needed, send them by registered mail and we return the finished documents to you.
Do I need an apostille or legalization?
It depends on the destination country: states party to the Hague Convention accept the apostille, others require legalization via the embassy or consulate. We check this for you.
Which languages do you work with?
Turkish, English, French, Arabic, Russian, Ukrainian, Polish and many more. Just ask – including for rare languages.
