The increasing demand for Polish-German and German-Polish translations
Poland and Germany share a long history and are close partners in the EU today. The lively exchange in business, education, and culture leads to a growing need for certified translations of official documents in both languages. You might need a translation for the following situations:
Working in Germany
Get your Świadectwo dojrzałości (Abitur) translated: Your Polish Abitur is important for many career paths in Germany. You need a certified translation, for example, for applications for apprenticeships (especially in technical professions) or for applying for further training courses at the employment agency.
How to correctly translate Świadectwo pracy (employment reference): German employers place great value on employment references. Your Polish employment reference will be a key to proving your professional experience and skills when applying for your next job.
Studying in Germany
High school diploma for German universities: Your Polish high school diploma is your ticket to German universities. A correct translation by our Polish-German translators allows you to apply directly to all German universities and universities of applied sciences, and also qualifies you for BAföG (federal student aid) as an EU citizen.
Proof of parental income for student financing: German authorities are thorough – even with EU citizens. Therefore, it is important that all required documents are professionally translated and certified. The translation of income statements is important, for example, in the following situations:
- BAföG application: Parents' income must be documented in detail.
- Health insurance : Family insurance possible up to age 25
- Child benefit: Also for Polish families in Germany
- Scholarship applications: Social need must be proven.
- Student loan approval at German banks
Bureaucracy hack: Prepare all documents at once. German authorities value completeness and prioritize processing complete applications.
Family and life
Akt małżeństwa ( marriage certificate ) for binational marriages: German authorities need your marriage certificate if your spouse from Poland joins you or if you want to include your partner in your health insurance.
Polish identity card (personal identification card): Your Polish identity card is frequently required in Germany for:
- Registration with the residents' registration office: mandatory within 14 days
- Opening a bank account: German banks require proof of identity
- Employment contract : Employers must verify your identity
- Renting an apartment: Landlords often require certified copies.
- Official procedures: Social welfare office, employment office, immigration office
Conveniently, as an EU citizen, you don't need a residence permit. Your Polish ID card is sufficient for all purposes in Germany.
PESEL card for German social security. The PESEL number is your Polish "social security number" and can be particularly important for your future pension calculation.

Challenges in Polish translations
Translation between Polish and German presents some specific challenges:
1. Complex Grammar
Polish has a complex inflectional system with seven cases, while German uses four. A skilled Polish translator navigates these grammatical differences with ease.
2. Culture-specific expressions
Certain concepts are deeply rooted in a given culture. A competent Polish translator finds creative solutions to convey these concepts in an understandable way.
3. False friends
There are numerous "false friends" between Polish and German – words that sound similar but have different meanings. We encounter these pitfalls daily when translating from Polish:
| Polish | Sounds German like... | But that means... |
|---|---|---|
| magazine | Magazine (journal) | Warehouse, department store |
| pretensja | Pretension | Complaint, accusation |
| procurator | authorized signatory | Public prosecutor |
| egzekucja | Execution = execution | foreclosure |
| eventuality | possibly | if applicable |
