Why does it need to be certified?
In Germany, official translations must be done by a vereidigter Übersetzer, a translator officially sworn in by a German court. Only these certified translations are accepted by the Ausländerbehörde, Standesamt, recognition authorities for nursing qualifications, and other government offices. Translations done in Nepal, even by qualified translators, are often rejected by German authorities, forcing you to start over and causing costly delays.

When Nepali professionals need certified German translations
Germany is actively recruiting skilled workers from Nepal, especially in nursing and gastronomy. Whatever brings you here, German authorities require beglaubigte Übersetzungen of your documents. Here are the most common situations:
Nursing qualification recognition
To work as a Pflegefachfrau or Pflegefachmann in Germany, you must have your Nepali nursing diploma recognised by the responsible state authority.
- Nursing diploma and transcripts
- Police clearance certificate
- Employment certificates and internship records
Work or training visa
Applying at the German embassy in Kathmandu for a visa under §16d or §18 of the Residence Act? You'll need certified translations of personal and educational documents.
Family reunification or marriage
Joining your spouse in Germany or planning to marry at a German Standesamt? Civil status documents must be translated by a sworn translator.
- Birth certificate
- Marriage certificate (if applicable)
- Police clearance certificate
Naturalisation or permanent residence
Long-term residents from Nepal applying for Niederlassungserlaubnis or German citizenship may need translated identity and background documents.
- Birth certificate
- Police clearance certificate
- Previous residence permits or civil status documents
What we need from you
Getting started is simple. Here's what helps us prepare your certified translation quickly:
- A clear scan or photo of your Nepali document (all pages, including stamps and signatures)
- Information about the purpose (visa, recognition, marriage, etc.) so we use the correct terminology
- Your preferred delivery address for the original stamped translation
Good to know
You don't need to send your original documents by post. A clear photo from your smartphone is enough for most translations. The translator notes that the translation was made from a copy, and this is accepted by German authorities. If your specific authority requires sight of the original, we'll let you know.

Understanding German bureaucracy for Nepali documents
Navigating German authorities can feel overwhelming, especially when everything must be in German. Here's what you need to know:
Which authorities accept these translations?
Our certified translations are prepared by translators sworn in at German courts. They are accepted by:
- Immigration offices (Ausländerbehörde) throughout Germany
- Registry offices (Standesamt) for marriage and civil status matters
- Recognition authorities for nursing qualifications (varies by state, e.g. Landesamt für Pflege in Bavaria)
- German embassies and consulates, including in Kathmandu
- Courts, universities, and employers
Do I need an Apostille or legalisation?
Nepal is a member of the Hague Apostille Convention. Many German authorities require an Apostille on Nepali civil documents (birth certificates, marriage certificates, police clearance) before they accept them. The Apostille is placed on the original document in Nepal, and then both the document and the Apostille are translated into German. Check with your specific authority or the German Embassy in Kathmandu for exact requirements.
Recognition of nursing qualifications
The recognition process for Nepali nursing diplomas is handled by state-level authorities. You'll typically need certified translations of your diploma, detailed transcript showing subjects and hours, and often your curriculum. The process can take several months, so submitting complete and correctly translated documents from the start helps avoid additional delays. Resources like Anerkennung in Deutschland and Make it in Germany provide detailed guidance on the process.
Avoid this common mistake
Many Nepali applicants assume that a translation done in Nepal will be accepted in Germany. Unfortunately, German authorities often require translations by translators sworn in Germany. Using a non-certified or foreign translation can mean your application is returned, and you lose weeks or months. Start with a certified translation from a German sworn translator to avoid this frustration.
Your questions answered
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 birth certificates or police clearance certificates are often ready sooner. For larger document sets, such as a nursing diploma with transcripts and curriculum, allow a few extra days. You'll receive the PDF by email first, followed by the stamped original by post.
No, a clear scan or photo is sufficient for the translation. The translator notes that the translation was made from a copy. This is accepted by most German authorities. If a specific office requires that the translator saw the original, we'll advise you, but this is rare.
Yes. We work exclusively with translators who are officially sworn in at German courts (öffentlich bestellte und vereidigte Übersetzer). Their certified translations are accepted by the Ausländerbehörde, Standesamt, recognition authorities, courts, and all other German government offices throughout the EU.
You pay after you receive your translation. The invoice arrives together with the completed work, and you have 14 days to pay by bank transfer. No upfront payment, no credit card required. You hold the translation in your hands first, then you pay.
It depends on the procedure and authority. For visas, marriage, and recognition, German offices often require Nepali civil documents to carry an Apostille. You obtain the Apostille in Nepal (from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs), then send the apostilled document for translation. We translate both the document and the Apostille into German. Always check the specific requirements with your German authority or the embassy in Kathmandu.
