Translation for official use
Certified translations for public authorities and official documents
Azerbaijani is handled directly by our authorised translator. For other language combinations, we confirm availability only after reviewing the document and its purpose.
For public authorities, courts, notaries and educational institutions
Certified translations are often required by registry offices, immigration authorities, courts, notaries and universities. The receiving body decides which format is required in each case.

Certified translations of birth, marriage and death certificates and other civil-status documents.

Translations of passports, driving licences, proof of nationality and registration certificates. We clarify in advance which format the receiving body will accept.
Academic documents

Frequently asked questions about official documents
Who may issue a certified translation?
The accuracy and completeness of a translation may be certified by translators authorised by a court for this purpose. The precise title and jurisdiction vary by German federal state. Redacted evidence of Saiga Abbasova qualification for Azerbaijani is documented on the About Us page.
Are certified translations used by public authorities?
Certified translations are often required for public authorities, courts, universities and registry offices. Whether a document is sufficient in a particular case depends on its purpose and the requirements of the requesting body.
Do you need the original document?
For an initial enquiry, a clear scan or photo of your document is usually sufficient. Whether originals are needed later depends on the document and its intended use.
