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 German authorities like the Ausländerbehörde (immigration office), Standesamt (civil registry office), and courts. A translation by a friend, family member, or regular translator will be rejected. Our Pashto-German translators are court-sworn in Germany, so your translation will be accepted.

When do you need a certified Pashto-German translation?
Afghan documents in Pashto are not understood by German authorities. For any official process, you need a certified translation by a sworn translator. Here are the most common situations:
Family reunification
Bringing your spouse or children to Germany? The German embassy and Ausländerbehörde require certified translations of your marriage certificate, birth certificates, and Tazkira for all family members.
- Marriage certificate
- Birth certificate
- Tazkira (Afghan ID)
Asylum and residence permit
During your asylum procedure or when applying for a residence permit, you must prove your identity and family status. The Ausländerbehörde accepts only certified translations of your Afghan documents. According to BAMF guidelines, identity documents must be submitted in German.
- Tazkira (Afghan ID)
- Birth certificate
- Marriage certificate
Registering marriage or birth
If you married abroad or your child was born outside Germany, the Standesamt needs to register this. They require your original certificate plus a certified German translation.
- Marriage certificate
- Birth certificate
- Tazkira (as identity proof)
German citizenship application
Applying for Einbürgerung? The citizenship office requires proof of your identity, birth, and marital status. All Afghan documents must be submitted with certified translations. See Make it in Germany for requirements.
What we need from you
To translate your Pashto document, we need a clear copy. Here is your checklist:
- A clear scan or photo of your document (both sides if applicable)
- All text must be readable, including stamps and handwritten parts
- Let us know what the translation is for (visa, citizenship, registry office)
Good to know
You do not need to send the original document. A clear photo from your phone is enough for us to create the certified translation. Many authorities accept a copy of the original alongside the translation. However, some offices require the original for inspection. Check with your specific authority if unsure.
Do you need an Apostille?
Many people confuse Apostille with certified translation. They are two different things:
- A certified translation converts your document into German
- An Apostille confirms the authenticity of the original document itself
For Afghan documents, the situation is complex. Afghanistan is not part of the Hague Apostille Convention, so a standard Apostille is not available. German authorities use other methods to verify Afghan documents. The German Foreign Office provides information on document legalization. We recommend asking your specific authority (embassy, Ausländerbehörde, or Standesamt) what they require. Either way, a certified translation is always necessary.
