Certified German Translations
Need a document in German or English that a court, university, or agency will accept? Native German linguists deliver certified translations from $24.10 per page within 48 hours, accepted for official use.
Get a German translation the receiving office will accept
A German birth certificate, diploma, or contract is only useful if the office reading it accepts it. When an immigration officer, university, or employer asks for a certified English version, a rough or machine translation is the fastest way to get sent back to the start.
This is exactly what certified German translations are for. ABC Translations handles certified and standard German translation with native German linguists who are fluent in English. Each one is vetted before a project and reviewed afterward, so your document is accurate, consistent, and ready for official use the first time.
Precise work, delivered on your deadline
Across education, immigration, business, and personal needs, we have produced thousands of German translations. The work is professional and matches the pace your application or filing requires.
Everything runs securely online. You upload your German document, see the price up front, and receive your certified translation, usually within 48 hours. Professional German translation starts at $0.09 per word or certified at $24.10 per page.

I purchased a translation on Friday and expected a 24-hour turnaround but also ordered a notary not knowing it wasn't part of the estimated time. Unsurprisingly I needed it immediately. I emailed support and within a few hours, it was completely signed and notarized! Hats off to y'all!
Amazing service! My translation was done in 2 hours. All done on time, the right way, and the price was very good! Highly recommend.
I reached out to them last Friday for an emergency translation. They got back within the hour. ETA was 24 hours. Since it was a Friday, I expected Monday, but it was completed on Saturday. Accurate and on time, great job!

Frequently Asked Questions
If you have questions about German translation at ABC, this page covers them. Find out how the process runs, what you will pay, how fast we deliver, where your document is accepted, the notarization options on offer, and how you receive the final version.
Will my certified German translation be accepted by USCIS and other U.S. agencies?
Yes. Every certified German translation we deliver carries a signed statement of accuracy that meets USCIS requirements, and the same statement is accepted by schools, employers, and other government agencies. You receive a PDF for immediate filing, with the original certification by mail if your office wants it.
Can you translate German civil registry records like a Geburtsurkunde or Heiratsurkunde?
Yes. We translate documents from the German Standesamt, including birth certificates (Geburtsurkunde), marriage certificates (Heiratsurkunde), and the internationale Familienstandsbescheinigung. Our translators know how these registry documents are laid out and which official terms each one uses.
Do you translate German diplomas and professional certifications such as a Meisterbrief?
Yes. We regularly translate diplomas from German universities and Fachhochschulen, along with professional credentials like engineering qualifications (Ingenieur), medical credentials, and trade certificates (Meisterbrief). The qualification reads clearly for the U.S. school, employer, or licensing board reviewing it.
Can you handle technical German terminology in patents and specifications?
Yes. Our German translators include specialists in engineering, medical, and legal vocabulary, so technical documents such as patents and specifications come back with field-specific terms rendered correctly rather than guessed at.
Can you translate German-language documents issued in Austria or Switzerland?
Yes. We translate German-language documents from Austria and Switzerland as well as Germany. Our native German translators understand the regional terminology and document formats used in each country, so an Austrian or Swiss record is handled as carefully as a German one.
How much does German translation cost and how fast can I get it?
Professional German translation starts at $0.09 per word or certified at $24.10 per page, with the full price shown before you confirm. Standard turnaround is 48 hours, and most German documents are one or two pages, so they come back quickly. Tell us your deadline and we confirm the timeline before any work begins.
