Do you have questions about statutes translation for Germany?

• + What is the challenge of translating statutes?

  The translation of statutes is particularly demanding. Therefore, it is important that you find a professionally competent and reliable translator for your translation project.
  
  For statutes, technical terms with a very specific meaning often have to be translated into another language. Even native speakers sometimes do not have the necessary linguistic competence for these specialist translations. That is why it is particularly important to hire a specialist translator with reliable expertise and decades of experience. In addition, the translator's creativity and command of language are required — after all, precise technical language must not be at the expense of readability!
  
  In particular, legal requirements must be observed in the case of statutes. Documents like these usually have to be presented in the form of a certified translation. The lack of a recognised oath can quickly become a serious problem. A professional and sworn specialist translator can help you meet all legal requirements.

• + Do I need a certified translation of my statutes?

  An attestation clause legally assures the accuracy of the translation. Authorities, offices and even some companies actually require a translation with certification. Although we also offer a translation without certification ("specialist translation" or "specialist translation incl. proofreading" by a second native translator), nevertheless we recommend that you always book statutes incl. certification.

Do you have questions about statutes translation for abroad?

• + What do I need to bear in mind when ordering a certified translation for abroad?

  Our certified translations are produced by translators sworn in Germany and are accepted standardly by all offices and authorities, including those abroad. However, some countries/offices have special requirements for a certified translation. If you are unsure whether our translations are accepted, please contact the local authority directly to find out which requirements apply in your case.
  
  Tip: If you have to submit the translation to the consulate, make sure you check whether the translation is to be done explicitly by a translator registered at the consulate. The consulate will be happy to give you information on this.
