Certified bank statement translation | State-approved

Do you need financial documents for an authority abroad and therefore a certified translation? If you are applying for a visa, moving abroad or need to prove your financial situation, many authorities require officially translated documents. These include, for example, account statements, financial reports, tax assessment notices or loan agreements.

Our team of state-recognised translators produces certified translations of your financial documents – carefully, formally correct and in line with the requirements of the respective authority.

Frequently asked questions about official bank statement translations

Can you also translate online banking screenshots?

Yes, we create professional translations of online banking statements and screenshots. It is important that all relevant information such as bank name, account number, period and transactions is clearly visible. The state recognition is identical to printed statements.

Do you also translate very old bank statements?

Of course. Professional translation is especially important for older documents, as banking terminology and formats have changed over the years. Our sworn translators are familiar with historical terminology and produce legally valid documents.

Can you also translate bank statements from foreign banks?

Yes, we translate account statements from all international banks into German or other target languages. Our state-recognised translators are familiar with different banking systems worldwide and can handle even complex foreign formats professionally.

Which information is redacted in the translation?

We reproduce the redactions from the original 1:1. If you would like certain information to be redacted, you can do this before uploading or instruct us accordingly. State recognition remains valid.
