Belarusian to German Translation: Certified for Visas, Degrees & Residence Permits
Whether you're applying for a Blue Card, regularising your refugee status, or enrolling at a German university, your Belarusian documents need a beglaubigte Übersetzung (certified translation). We deliver translations accepted by every German authority—from the Ausländerbehörde to the Standesamt—and you pay only after you receive them.
You usually receive your quote within a few hours, often sooner.
Why does it need to be certified?
German is the only official language of administration in Germany. When you submit foreign documents—whether for a visa, residence permit, or marriage registration—authorities require a beglaubigte Übersetzung. This is a translation made by a vereidigter Übersetzer (sworn translator) who is officially authorised by a German court. The translator stamps and signs each page, confirming accuracy. Only these certified translations are accepted by the Ausländerbehörde, Standesamt, universities, and other German institutions.

What we need from you
Getting started is simple. Here's what helps us provide an accurate quote and deliver your certified translation quickly:
- A clear scan or photo of your Belarusian document (phone photos work fine)
- All pages, including any stamps, seals, or Apostille
- The purpose of your translation (visa, university, marriage—this helps us use the right terminology)
- Your deadline, if you have an upcoming appointment
Good to know: Cyrillic names and transliteration
Belarusian documents use Cyrillic script, and names may appear differently than in your passport (Latin spelling). Our translators follow ISO 9 transliteration standards and can note any discrepancies. If your passport already has a Latin spelling, let us know so we match it exactly—avoiding problems at the Ausländerbehörde or Standesamt.
Do you need an Apostille?
Many German authorities require Belarusian civil status documents (birth certificates, marriage certificates) to carry an Apostille before translation. Belarus is a member of the Hague Apostille Convention, so documents can be apostilled by Belarusian authorities.
The correct order is: first obtain the Apostille in Belarus, then have the entire document (including the Apostille) translated into German. If you skip this step, you may need to repeat the process—costing time and money.
Not sure if you need an Apostille? Check with your specific German authority, or ask us—we're happy to advise.
Will German authorities accept your translation?
Yes, if it's done by the right translator. German embassies, the Ausländerbehörde, Standesämter, and universities require translations by a vereidigter Übersetzer (sworn translator) who is authorised in Germany. According to German Foreign Office guidelines, non-German/English documents must be accompanied by a German or English translation.
Translations from sworn translators abroad (even if "certified" in Belarus) are sometimes rejected. To avoid delays, especially with tight visa appointment deadlines, use a translator based in Germany. All our translators are officially sworn in by German courts—your translation will be accepted.

Questions we often hear
Delivery usually takes 3 to 6 working days; it may vary depending on the language and scope. Your personal delivery time is stated in your quote. Standard documents like birth certificates or diplomas are typically faster, while complex academic transcripts may take a bit longer. You'll receive the PDF by email first, then the stamped original by post. If you have a tight appointment deadline, mention it when requesting your quote—we'll let you know what's possible.
No, a clear scan or photo is enough for us to create your certified translation. The translator notes in the certification that the translation was made from a copy—this is accepted by German authorities. You may need to present the original Belarusian document alongside the translation at your appointment, but you don't need to send it to us.
Yes. Our translations are made by sworn translators (vereidigte Übersetzer) authorised by German courts. They are accepted by the Ausländerbehörde, German embassies, the Standesamt, universities, and all other German government institutions. If an authority ever has questions, we provide support.
You pay after you receive your translation—not before. The invoice arrives together with your certified translation. You then have 14 days to pay by bank transfer. This way, you can check everything first before paying.
Usually yes. When an authority requires an Apostille on your Belarusian document, they typically want the entire document translated—including the Apostille itself. The safest approach: first get the Apostille in Belarus, then send us everything for translation. We translate the original document and the Apostille together, so your submission is complete.
