Identity card

Your identity card – along with your birth certificate – is probably one of the most important documents you own. Without it, no bouncer will (usually) let you into a nightclub, and you'll likely be barred from a police check. This identification document becomes even more crucial when dealing with government agencies, government offices, or in court. Without valid proof of identity, you generally won't get far, as these institutions scrutinize your data very carefully. For an identity card to be accepted by foreign authorities, its translation must be properly verified. That's precisely what we do for you: We translate your identity card and certify the translation so that it's recognized in the destination country.

You'll need a certified translation of your identity card in various situations. Before we get to that, though, one thing to note: When you need a certified translation of your identity card always depends on the regulations and requirements of the relevant authority. Find out early on whether you need a certified translation or whether your original (or perhaps your passport) is sufficient.

Are you planning to spend the next few months or even years abroad, but know you'll be returning home afterward? Then you're probably studying abroad or have taken on a temporary job overseas. And you likely need a visa for your stay or have to prove your identity beforehand. Depending on the country, the relevant authority or office may require a certified translation of your identification documents. It might sound complicated, but we can take care of it quickly. We'll provide a fast translation, including certification of your ID card, so you can focus on what's important.

If your plans are long-term and involve permanent emigration, foreign authorities typically scrutinize official documents even more closely. Normally, depending on the country, they only accept certified translations of these documents. One of these documents that usually needs to be translated for emigration or immigration is a photo ID. Therefore, your ID should be provided as a certified translation in the target language. We can help you with this and translate your German identity card into English, French, Spanish, and other languages. Of course, we can also translate a foreign ID card into German.

If you need a certified translation of your identity card, it's usually for something important: emigration, a visa, studying abroad...
