If a court-certified translator endorses his or her translation with his stamp and affixes his or her signature below his or her own translation, he or she confirms the correctness and completeness of the content. In doing so, the translator ensures that names, dates and facts from the source documents are translated and/or taken correctly and completely. Through my certification by the Cologne Higher Regional Court, I am able to certify the correctness and completeness of your translated documents. Certified translations are recognised by all German courts.
Legal and financial translations
A good translation needs to be more than just correct: it should also read well. For this reason, you should always use a trained language professional for your translation needs. I am at your service for elegant and correct translations! Precision, discretion and absolute adherence to deadlines go without saying.
I specialise in the translation of financial and legal documents – from English into German and vice versa. I can also certify the correctness and completeness of the content if so required. I am also happy to proof-read any translations you have done yourself.

Express translation: when speed is of the essence
Sometimes speed is of the essence, for example, when a court hearing has been fixed and the documents were not completed on time. Although I cannot work miracles and my high quality standards must be strictly adhered to, I make every effort - if necessary, even on weekends – to translate your documents quickly and properly in an emergency. Upon request, I certify the correctness and completeness of your translation.
Of course, certified translations can also be delivered “just in time” by a courier for an extra charge.

FAQ
-
What is a certified translation?
-
Who needs a certified translation?
Especially for longer stays outside the EU or immigration from a non-EU state to Germany, certified translations must be submitted to the authorities. Mostly these are birth certificate or marriage certificate, school reports or references, identity papers, driving licences, notices, court judgments, commercial register excerpts etc.
Through the certification of the correctness and completeness of content, the translated document receives the same status as the source language document. -
Does anglophonia demand express surcharges?
Express and weekend surcharges are common in the industry, but I demand no surcharges.
-
Which file formats can be processed?
Basically, any digital format can be processed, such as:
Microsoft® Word® (.doc, .docx)
Microsoft® Excel® (.xls, .xlsx)
Microsoft® PowerPoint® (.ppt, .pptx)
Open Office (.odf)
Corel® Draw (.cdr)
Adobe® Indesign (.indd)
PDF (.pdf)
It is advisable to send me the original file for calculation and subsequent translation. If it is a scan or the original file is no longer available, it can of course also be used. -
How much time is required for translations?
This may vary greatly and depends on my spare capacity. Please let me know the desired date when submitting your inquiry so I can take the latter into account.
