Why does it need to be certified?
In Germany, official translations must be done by a vereidigter Übersetzer (sworn translator) who is officially authorised by a German court. The Ausländerbehörde Stuttgart and other authorities will only accept translations with the translator's official stamp and signature. A regular translation, or one made abroad, may be rejected, forcing you to start over and potentially miss your appointment.
What Stuttgart Authorities Require
Stuttgart's immigration and civil registration offices have specific requirements for foreign documents. The Einbürgerungsbehörde Stuttgart explicitly states that translations must be made by a translator admitted in Germany. Similarly, the Ausländerbehörde requires certified translations for residence permit applications.
The Regierungspräsidium Stuttgart, which handles recognition of foreign qualifications, also requires officially certified copies and German translations of your education documents.
Good to know
Stuttgart's Ausländerbehörde is known for long wait times and communication delays. Having complete, correctly translated documents at your first appointment saves you from additional visits and potential visa complications.
