Certified translations to be submitted in Germany can only be performed by a translator sworn in Germany.
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.
Once you have accepted an order, you can no longer cancel it.
If you cannot complete the order for a valid reason, please let us know as soon as possible.
