Chinese-German Certified Translation for APS, Visa and Marriage

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. Simple documents like a marriage certificate are often ready sooner, while booklet-format diplomas with many pages may take a bit longer. If your document requires Apostille or legalisation first, factor in additional time for those steps before translation.

No. A clear scan or photo is sufficient for us to create your certified translation. We note in the certification that the translation was made from a copy. German authorities accept this, though some institutions may request the original later for verification. Check with your specific university or authority to confirm their requirements.

Yes. Our translations are created by translators sworn in at German courts, whose certifications are recognised nationwide by the Akademische Prüfstelle, German embassies, universities, the Ausländerbehörde, and registry offices. While acceptance is always at the discretion of the receiving authority, our format meets the standard requirements.

You pay after you receive your translation, not before. Once the certified PDF arrives in your inbox and the stamped original is on its way by post, you have 14 days to complete your payment by bank transfer. Your translation is in your hands first.

For Chinese documents used in Germany, the typical order is: first notarisation in China, then Apostille or legalisation by Chinese authorities, and finally translation into German. This way, all official seals and endorsements appear in your translation. However, requirements vary by document type and receiving authority. We recommend confirming the exact process with your target institution before commissioning any steps.
