USCIS-accepted certified German-to-English and English-to-German translations — covering Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. Trusted by courts, universities, corporations, and patent attorneys. From $29.95 per page.
German is one of the top commercial languages for document translation in the United States — driven both by immigration (German nationals, German-American ancestry claims, and investors from the DACH region) and by business (the US and Germany are each other's most important transatlantic trading partners). German document translation is required daily at USCIS offices, US federal courts, the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), and state university admissions offices.
Official Translations provides USCIS-accepted certified German translations for individuals, immigration attorneys, law firms, corporations, and patent attorneys across the United States. Every translation is completed by a professional German-English translator and accompanied by a signed Certificate of Accuracy. We cover standard German (Hochdeutsch), Austrian German, and Swiss German — including all regional administrative vocabulary differences in official documents.

Add an extra layer of credibility to your translations with our Notarization service for just $19.95 per order. Notarization is often required for educational documents, legal filings, real estate transactions, and by certain government agencies.

Add an extra certified copy of your translated document. This service is commonly used when multiple certified translations are required for official submissions, immigration filings, academic institutions, or legal purposes. Please note: if notarization is required, each additional copy must include its own notarization, as notarizations are completed per document copy.
Going global with your documents? Our Apostille service, at $149.95 per document, is your key to worldwide acceptance. While our translations are accepted across the United States, international boundaries often call for an Apostille - a special seal that makes your documents valid abroad.
If you're dealing with foreign countries or consulates, they might need this extra layer of authentication. The Apostille ensures that your documents are recognized and accepted in all Hague Convention countries. It's not just a stamp; it's your passport for your paperwork to cross international lines hassle-free.
Don't let your documents get lost in translation. With our Apostille service, you're not just getting a translation; you're getting a global pass. Make sure your documents are ready for the world stage.
