Documents we translate into German
One partner for every document you need in German – from a single certificate to a full contract set.
Whether it is a single birth certificate or 300 pages of contracts, termbase translates your English-language documents into German so they are accepted by authorities, courts and universities in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. Each job goes to a sworn, court-authorized translator for your subject, at a binding fixed price agreed before we start – with the certification statement where an authority requires it.
You upload your file, we assign the right specialist and quote price and delivery date up front. Every document is reviewed under the four-eyes principle to ISO 17100, handled confidentially and returned in the original layout. German ⇄ English is all we do – so the terminology is right the first time.

The decisive question
Do I need a certified German translation?
In short: for authorities, courts and universities in the DACH region you almost always need a certified translation by sworn, court-authorised translators; for internal and business use, translations without certification by specialist translators are enough. When in doubt we check it for you before the order.
| Document | Typical purpose | Certified needed? | Go to page |
|---|---|---|---|
| Birth, marriage, divorce certificate | Registry office, family reunion | Yes | certified |
| Diploma, academic certificate | Recognition / application | Official: yes · internal: no | Certificates |
| Residence permit, citizenship | Immigration authority | Yes | Immigration |
| Contract, T&Cs, correspondence | Business, internal | Usually no | Contracts |
| Technical docs, website | Production, market, users | No | Technical |
Never pay for a certification nobody asked for – we point it out proactively. In Germany, the Jobcenter or BAMF often cover the translation cost for official procedures – ask before you order.

Quality you can see
One document, one sworn specialist, one fixed price.
A lawyer translates your contract, a doctor the medical report, an engineer the manual – reviewed under the four-eyes principle to DIN EN ISO 17100, at no surcharge. You do not get a text fragment back: tables, stamps, form fields and layout are carried over. We process PDF, Word, Excel, scans and photos directly.
Your files stay confidential and GDPR-compliant – encrypted transfer, access only for those involved, on request with an NDA at no surcharge. German ⇄ English, translated into the target language by native specialists. Certification by a sworn, court-authorized translator follows where an authority requires it.
For companies
Documents at volume, one contact, falling costs.
If you have documents translated regularly, you should not renegotiate every time. A framework agreement secures fixed terms, a dedicated contact and staggered volume discounts. Translation-memory reuse further reduces repetitions – at identical, reviewed quality. What a document translation costs is shown in the price overview.
