Why does it need to be certified?

German authorities require translations made by a öffentlich bestellter und allgemein beeidigter Übersetzer, a translator officially sworn in by a German court. Only these sworn translators can certify that the translation is accurate and complete. Without this certification, your Hindi documents will likely be rejected by the Ausländerbehörde, Standesamt, or recognition authorities, potentially delaying your visa, residence permit, or degree recognition by weeks or months.

When you need certified Hindi-German translation

Indian professionals, students, and families moving to Germany face strict documentation requirements. Whether you are applying for a Blue Card, getting your degree recognised, reuniting with family, or pursuing German citizenship, German authorities expect your Hindi documents in certified German translation. Here are the most common situations:

Blue Card and skilled worker visa

IT professionals and engineers from India need certified translations of their qualifications for visa applications at the German embassy and later at the Ausländerbehörde. Requirements can be found on the official Make it in Germany portal.

Recognition of Indian degrees

For formal recognition of your Indian qualifications through Anabin or the Anerkennung in Deutschland portal, recognition authorities often require certified German translations of Hindi-language degrees and transcripts.

Family reunification

When your spouse and children join you in Germany, the German embassy in India and later the Ausländerbehörde require translated marriage and birth certificates. Information on family reunification is available from the German embassy in India.

German citizenship (Einbürgerung)

For naturalisation applications, the Einbürgerungsbehörde typically requires civil status documents in German. Your Hindi birth certificate, marriage certificate, and sometimes degree certificates need certified translation.

What we need from you

Getting your Hindi documents translated is straightforward. Here is what we need to create your certified translation:

  • A clear scan or photo of your Hindi document (smartphone photos work fine)
  • The purpose of your translation (visa, degree recognition, naturalisation)
  • Your preferred name spelling as it appears in your passport
  • Any specific requirements from your authority (if known)

Good to know

You do not need to send original documents. German authorities accept certified translations made from scans. Our sworn translators note in the certification that the translation was made from a copy. If your authority has special requirements about originals or apostilles, let us know and we can advise you.

Name consistency matters

German authorities are very particular about consistent personal data across all documents. When translating Hindi documents that use Devanagari script, we follow your passport spelling exactly. If your Hindi document shows a different transliteration than your passport, our translators add a note explaining the variation. This prevents questions at the Ausländerbehörde or Standesamt that could delay your application.

Your questions answered

How long does a certified Hindi-German translation take?

Most Hindi-German translations are completed within 3 to 6 business days after you confirm your quote. Common documents like birth certificates or degree certificates are often ready sooner. Complex multi-page transcripts may take a few days longer. We recommend ordering as early as possible before your embassy appointment or authority deadline.

Do I need to send the original Hindi document, or is a scan enough?

A clear scan or photo is enough for most translations. Our sworn translator certifies that the translation corresponds to the copy presented. Some authorities, particularly certain Standesämter, may require the translator to have seen the original. If you are unsure, check with your specific authority or ask us, and we can advise based on your situation.

Will German authorities accept your Hindi-German translations?

Yes. Our translations are made by sworn translators (öffentlich bestellte und allgemein beeidigte Übersetzer) officially authorised in Germany for Hindi and German. These certified translations are accepted by German authorities including the Ausländerbehörde, Standesamt, universities, and recognition bodies throughout Germany.

When do I pay for the translation?

You pay after receiving your translation. The invoice arrives together with your completed certified translation. You then have 14 days to pay by bank transfer. This way, you can check everything before you pay.

Do my Hindi documents need an apostille before translation?

It depends on the document and authority. India is a member of the Hague Apostille Convention, so many Indian documents can receive an Apostille instead of full consular legalisation. For civil status documents like birth or marriage certificates, some German authorities require apostille in addition to translation. Get the apostille first, then send both document and apostille for translation. We recommend checking current requirements with your specific German embassy or authority.
