Why does it need to be certified?

In Germany, official translations must be produced by a vereidigter Übersetzer, a translator officially sworn in by a German court. Only these translators can add the stamp and signature that German authorities require. A translation done by a friend, a language school in Dhaka or an online tool will almost certainly be rejected at the embassy counter or by the Ausländerbehörde. Using a sworn translator from the start saves you time, stress and potentially an entire semester.

When you need a certified Bengali–German translation

Most of our Bangladeshi clients fall into four main groups. Whether you are applying for a student visa, seeking skilled-worker opportunities, joining family in Germany or pursuing permanent residence, certain documents must be translated by a sworn translator before German authorities will process your application.

Student visa for Germany

Universities and the German Embassy in Dhaka require certified translations of your school-leaving certificates, bachelor's degree and police clearance certificate. Incorrect translations can delay your semester start. Make it in Germany outlines the full checklist.

IT job-seeker visa and qualification recognition

IT professionals from Bangladesh often need to demonstrate that their degree is equivalent to a German qualification. The Anabin database and the Anerkennung in Deutschland portal both require sworn translations of transcripts and diplomas.

Family reunification and marriage

If you are joining a spouse in Germany or registering your marriage at a Standesamt, the registry office will ask for certified translations of Bengali birth and marriage certificates.

Naturalisation and permanent residence

Long-term residents applying for German citizenship must provide translated civil-status documents, including birth certificates and police clearance certificates issued in Bangladesh.

What we need from you

To produce a certified translation accepted by German authorities, we require:

  • A clear, legible scan or photo of your Bengali document (colour preferred)
  • The target language: German
  • A note about the purpose, such as student visa, job application or naturalisation

Good to know

You do not need to send the original document by post. A phone photo is enough for us to start. The sworn translator will note in the certification that the translation was prepared from a copy, which German authorities accept. If the authority later requires the original, you present it alongside the certified translation.

Confused by conflicting information?

Forums and agencies sometimes give different advice about apostilles, sworn translators and what the embassy in Dhaka accepts. If you have questions, call us or send an email. A real person answers, no bots, no ticket numbers.

Frequently asked questions

How long does a certified Bengali–German translation take?

Standard delivery is 3 to 6 business days. Once your quote is confirmed, a sworn translator begins immediately. The PDF arrives by email first, followed by the stamped original by post. If you are working against a visa deadline, submit your documents as early as possible.

Can I send a scan, or do I need the original?

A clear scan or phone photo is sufficient for the translation. The sworn translator will note that the translation was prepared from a copy. For final submission to the Ausländerbehörde or university, you may be asked to present the original alongside the certified translation.

Will German authorities accept a translation done in Bangladesh?

Some embassies accept translations from specific approved translators abroad, but many German authorities explicitly require a in Deutschland allgemein beeidigter Übersetzer. To avoid rejection, use a translator sworn in Germany whose credentials appear in the official court database. Our translators meet this requirement. The German Embassy in Dhaka provides specific instructions on their website.

When do I pay?

You pay only after you receive your certified translation. An invoice arrives together with your documents, and you have 14 days to transfer the amount by bank transfer. No prepayment, no credit card required.

Do my Bengali documents need an apostille before translation?

An apostille or legalisation applies to the original document, not to the translation. Some German authorities require Bangladeshi documents to be legalised before they accept them. The certified translation then confirms the content in German but does not replace legalisation. Check the specific requirements of your authority, as they vary by visa type and procedure.
