“Sworn” is not a marketing word, it is a register entry. Mine is in the official interpreter and translator database of the German state justice administrations — with a person ID. You can look it up before you hand me your document.

The question everyone asks

“Is an oath sworn in Hesse valid in Bavaria?” — Yes. Certified translations by sworn translators must be accepted nationwide under Section 142(3) of the Code of Civil Procedure. The office in Erding, Munich or Hamburg accepts the same translation.

Not one of the thirteen covers Arabic. Anyone in Erding who needs a certified translation or an interpreter for Arabic would otherwise have to go to Munich or work through an agency — both cost you time and travel.

Chapter 04How it works

Photograph your document and send it

A phone photo or a PDF is enough — by WhatsApp or e-mail. You do not have to bring in an original just to get a quote.

Reply with price and delivery date

What you want to know first

Price and turnaround — written down openly.

Standard certificates go at a flat rate, longer texts by standard line, interpreting by the hour. The full list with items and turnaround times has a page of its own — so you can do the maths before you ask.

The fastest route

Send me a photo of your document.

That is all it takes for a binding quote. I will tell you whether the authority wants to see the original, what the translation costs and when it will be ready.

The five questions that come up almost every time.

Yes. Certified translations by translators sworn in Germany must be accepted nationwide under Section 142(3) of the Code of Civil Procedure. My oath was taken before Darmstadt Regional Court — the Erding registry office, the district office or a university in Hamburg will accept the same translation.

Never for the quote — a phone photo is enough. For the translation itself the receiving authority decides: some offices accept a translation made from a copy, others require an original or a certified copy as the source. I clarify that with you before I start.

Single-page certificates usually two to three working days, school reports and diplomas three to five. Express within 24 hours is possible if the calendar allows it. Turnaround times and prices in detail.

No — not even if you speak both languages perfectly. Authorities and courts require the translation to be made by an independent person sworn for that purpose. That is exactly what gives the translation its evidential value.

Yes. Erding and the surrounding district are my core area, plus Munich Airport and the whole of Greater Munich — courts, authorities, notaries, clinics. See all interpreting settings.
