Certified German Translation Services in India

A certified translation comes with a signed statement from the translator or agency confirming that the translation is complete and accurate. It is usually stamped and attached to a copy of the original. Rules on what counts as certified differ by country and authority.

Acceptance depends on the receiving authority, so check its requirements before you order. Some accept a certified translation from an agency, while others ask for a sworn or notarised translation. Tell us who will receive the document and we will advise on the right route.

A sworn translation is made by a translator officially sworn before a court, for example in Germany. German authorities and missions often ask for a sworn translator, or one from a list they accept. Our certified translations come with our own certificate of accuracy and are not the same thing. If your authority specifically asks for a sworn translator, tell us and we will explain your options.

An apostille authenticates the original public document, not the translation. India and Germany are both parties to the Hague Apostille Convention, so Indian documents are often apostilled before use in Germany. Check with the receiving authority whether it is needed, and whether it should be done before or after translation.

Short documents such as certificates can often be done in one to two working days. Longer or more complex documents take more time to allow for review, and urgent requests can be discussed when you ask for a quote.

Yes. Clear scans or photos are enough for us to start. Send the full document, including stamps, seals and handwritten notes, so everything can be translated and described.
