Have your Abitur certificate translated now

FAQ: Do you have questions about “Abitur certificates and their translation”? You can find the most important answers here:

Do you have questions about having graduation certificates translated for Germany?

• + Do I need a certified translation of my foreign graduation certificate into German?

  An attestation clause legally assures the accuracy of the translation. So you give a better impression with that. Authorities and offices, but also universities and even some companies, even require a translation with certification.
  
  

  Also, find out if a regulatory transfer is necessary or desirable: School and university systems and their certificates and degrees vary greatly from country to country. Therefore, there are authorities in each country that do not translate the certificates and diplomas but can issue certificates as to which degree has which validity and significance in the respective country. In some cases, the universities also offer a transfer table — it is best to have this translated as well.

• + Can I choose the product “Abitur certificate” for translations of a foreign graduation certificate into German?

  As the name suggests, we offer the “Abitur certificate” service exclusively for Abitur certificates issued in Germany that are to be translated into a foreign language. Why? We work with standard page prices and assume a standardized “structure” for this service, where the translation effort is “standardized”, so to speak.
  
  

  Since foreign certificates have a very different structure depending on the country of issue, can vary greatly in terms of complexity or density of information, and are therefore associated with more effort for the most part, the “graduation certificate” service should be selected for this.

Do you have questions about having Abitur certificates translated for abroad?

• + Do I need a certified translation of my Abitur certificate when applying abroad?

  Since this is an official document, a certified translation is usually required in order for the document to be accepted by the foreign institution. Tip: Check with the university or appropriate office abroad to see if a translation of your Abitur certificate is required. By the way, our translations are certified by translators who are sworn in by a court in Germany and are accepted abroad standardly.

• + Can I translate my Abitur certificate myself?

  There are subtle nuances and differentiations in every language which — even with a very good command of the foreign language — can hardly be adhered to and translated accurately as a layperson. In general, we therefore advise against translating certificates yourself. This weakens your credibility with your future employer and rarely makes a professional impression. You may even falsify your certificates to your disadvantage. With authorities, a (usually inaccurate) translation without certification is not legally valid anyway.
  
  

  Even as a native German speaker, one has to admit that the “certificate language” in German is a science in itself. It is therefore better to opt for a professional translator who is guaranteed to translate the content of your certificates with perfect grammar and expression.

Do you have questions about the ordering/translation process for Abitur certificates?

• + How long does it take to translate my Abitur certificate?

  We complete our standard translations in a few working days. If you are in a rush, you can of course also use our express service. Then you will receive your translated document within 48 hours.

• + Can I have only individual pages of my Abitur certificate translated?

  No. The translation of the Abitur certificate is a fixed price, based on the German document and therefore for 4 pages. If you would like to have only individual pages of your certificate or a foreign language certificate translated, we recommend the “school certificate translation” service. Read more about this in the FAQ section “international”.

• + What is the meaning of “package price up to 4 pages” for an Abitur certificate translation?

  As the name suggests, we offer the “Abitur certificate” service exclusively for Abitur certificates issued in Germany that are to be translated into a foreign language. Why? We work with standard page prices and assume a standardized “structure” for this service, where the translation effort is “standardized”, so to speak. Depending on the state, there are some differences in the structure or “density” of information per page, but all are similar in terms of translation effort.
  
  

  Hence “up to 4 pages”: Some states issue two-page Abitur certificates, but the content is the same as a 3- or 4-page Abitur certificate in another state. This service therefore applies exclusively to a standard Abitur certificate with the classic list of grades and the cover sheet. For other supplementary documents or attachments, we recommend the “school certificate” or “graduation certificate” service.
  
  

• + Can I also choose the “Abitur certificate” service, e.g. for the translation of my intermediate level certificate?

  Intermediate level certificates can vary widely by school and state/country. The German Abitur certificate is at least relatively similar in structure in all federal states, so this lower special price only applies here. For intermediate level certificates we recommend the service “diploma/graduation certificate” or “school certificate”.

• + How much does it cost to translate my Abitur certificate?

• + What is a certified translation?

  A certified translation is a translation of an official document provided with the translator's attestation clause. Such a translation can only be carried out by court sworn translators. The translator confirms the accuracy of the translation with his/her signature, stamp and attestation clause. The authenticity of the translation is thus guaranteed in a legally binding manner. When you order your translation from lingoking and select the "certification" option, we guarantee that the translation will be done by a translator who has been sworn by a court in Germany.
  
  

  Additional quality assurance is provided by our certification according to the European quality standard DIN EN ISO 17100 for translation services. If you need to get it done quickly, we also offer an express service that allows you to meet even the tightest deadlines. Of course, we will treat your documents confidentially!

• + Into which languages can I have my Abitur certificate translated into?

  For the specific product “Abitur”, we offer translation exclusively from German into any desired language. For comparable certificates that were not issued in Germany, as well as for other types of graduation certificates, we recommend the service “diploma/graduation certificate” or “school certificate”.
