Frequently asked questions about translations of birth certificates

Why do I need a certified translation of my birth certificate?

For a certified translation—one that is officially valid for government offices, authorities, courts, and the police—you need more than a simple translation using an online tool. You need sworn translators who have the appropriate authorization and can affix the official stamp to your translation. A certified translation has official validity and bears a stamp confirming the complete and accurate translation of the source text.

Where can I get a birth certificate translated?

Since a birth certificate is an official document that usually requires a certified translation, you should contact a specialized translation agency. Here, trained, sworn translators will handle the translation of your official documents and certificates. These translators are authorized to translate official documents and verify the translation with a certification. P.S.: We are one such specialist for certified translations.

How much does a certified translation of a birth certificate cost?

The price of a certified translation is generally based on the translation work itself, the verified quality of the translation, and the language combination. Our translators are state-certified and sworn in before a court, which is what makes a certified translation so special. With us, you can get your translated birth certificate with certification for €56.50 for the entire document.

Into which languages can I have my birth certificate translated?

At Beglaubigung24, you can order certified translations in 19 language combinations. One of the two languages (source or target) must be German.

Our language combinations:
German – English | English – German | French – German | Spanish – German | Russian – German | Italian – German | Polish – German | Portuguese – German | Turkish – German | German – French | German – Spanish | Greek – German | Dutch – German | Ukrainian – German | Bosnian – German | Serbian – German | Croatian – German | Arabic – German | Bulgarian – German

Who translates and certifies birth certificates?

Birth certificates, like other official documents, are translated exclusively by sworn translators. These are (in our case, in Germany) authorized translators who have taken a general oath before a regional court, a higher regional court, or an internal authority. They are certified and possess the necessary authorization and qualifications to translate and authenticate content into specific languages.

How do I count the pages?

One page = one side of a sheet of paper (regardless of word count). Front and back count as separate pages. Count all relevant pages of your original document. The total is the sum of all individual pages.

Is my data kept confidential?

Yes, very much so! In fact, we're quite nerdy about that. We're certified for translation services (ISO 17100), quality management (ISO 9001), and information security (ISO/IEC 27001). Your data stays protected – from upload to delivery.

A certified translation of your birth certificate: This is what you need it for.

  • That a birth certificate is an important document is beyond question. It serves, for example, as an official document for authorities, government offices, and the registry office. It can happen that you need to have a foreign birth certificate translated into German and certified so that it is recognized by the relevant authority. Similarly, a German birth certificate is often only valid in other countries if it has been professionally translated into the respective language and officially certified.

    Depending on the country, the requirements for a certified translation vary. Normally, you need a certified translation of your birth certificate for: marriages, civil partnerships, name changes, naturalization, emigration, deaths, applications for parental and child benefits, acknowledgment of paternity, custody arrangements, baptisms, and also for real estate purchases.

  • Our translations are not only official, but also triple certified.

    Many online tools can now translate – but only true experts can translate and certify. At Certification24, we work exclusively with sworn translators authorized to produce official translations. Furthermore, we hold triple ISO certification: for our translation services (ISO 17100:2015), our quality management (ISO 9001:2015), and our information security (ISO/IEC 27001:2013).

  • When do I need to have a birth certificate translated?

    Hardly any document is as frequently requested for applications abroad as a birth certificate. There are numerous situations in which authorities or offices require a certified translation of the birth certificate. For example, in the following matters:

    - Naturalization and emigration
    - Marriage and Matrimony
    - Application for parental allowance and child benefit
    - Deaths
