Different regulations apply depending on the state in which the translation is required. The client should check on the translation requirements with the competent authority before placing the order. If no such information is available at the time of commissioning, please ask your client which certification they need (e.g., German certification, Austrian certification, etc.) before executing the order.

If you are unable to carry out the assignment for valid reasons, you are first obliged to find a replacement who can take over the assignment for you.

If you cannot find a replacement, please let our team know as soon as possible.

After the translation of the documents you will upload the non-certified translation to the order. The client will now take the time to approve of the translation. If the client does not approve please check all changes that are supposed to be done. Should you have any questions on that, please contact us at any time. If the client approves of the translation, either prepare the shipping of the translation by registered mail and enter the number into the order. If the translation is not to be shipped by mail, upload the final version of the translation to the order. The order is completed with providing the client with the final version of the translation either by mail or by uploading it to the order.
