Certified Urdu to German Translation for Pakistani Documents
Need your Nikah certificate, NADRA birth certificate, or Family Registration Certificate translated for German authorities? Our sworn translators deliver certified Urdu-German translations accepted by every Standesamt, Ausländerbehörde, and German embassy. You receive your translation first, then pay.
You usually receive your quote within a few hours, often sooner.
Why does it need to be certified?
German authorities only accept translations made by a vereidigter Übersetzer, a translator officially sworn in by a German court. This certification confirms the translation is accurate and complete. Without it, the Standesamt or Ausländerbehörde will reject your documents, and you will need to start over. Our translators are registered with German courts, so your translation is accepted the first time.

When you need a certified Urdu translation
Pakistani documents in Urdu are required for many official procedures in Germany. The Standesamt, Ausländerbehörde, and German embassies all require certified translations. Here are the most common situations:
Family reunion (spouse visa)
Bringing your spouse to Germany? The German embassy in Islamabad and the Ausländerbehörde require certified translations of your marriage and birth certificates to prove your family relationship. According to Make it in Germany, these documents must be submitted in German or with certified translations.
- Nikah Nama / Marriage certificate
- Birth certificate (NADRA)
- Family Registration Certificate (FRC)
Getting married in Germany
Planning to marry at a German Standesamt? The registry office needs certified translations of your Pakistani birth certificate and any previous marriage documents to verify your identity and marital status.
- Birth certificate (Urdu/NADRA)
- Nikah certificate (if previously married)
- Single status certificate
Registering your child's birth
When Pakistani parents have a child in Germany, the Standesamt often requires certified translations of the parents' documents for birth registration and citizenship matters.
- Parents' birth certificates (NADRA)
- Parents' Nikah / marriage certificate
- Passports
Naturalisation (Einbürgerung)
Applying for German citizenship? The Einbürgerungsbehörde requires proof of your identity, age, and marital status. As confirmed by the Bundesverwaltungsamt, foreign documents may need certified translation.
- Birth certificate (Urdu)
- Marriage certificate (Urdu)
- Educational certificates
What we need from you
Getting your Urdu documents translated is straightforward. Here is what helps us deliver your certified translation quickly:
- A clear scan or photo of your Urdu document (NADRA certificate, Nikah Nama, or other)
- The purpose of the translation (visa, marriage, naturalisation) so we use the correct terminology
- Any specific deadline if you have an upcoming appointment
Good to know: NADRA vs. old handwritten documents
German authorities strongly prefer computerised NADRA certificates over old handwritten Urdu records. If you have outdated documents, consider requesting updated NADRA versions before translation. This avoids delays when the authority asks you to resubmit. We translate both types, but NADRA documents are processed faster and cause fewer questions.
About apostille and legalisation
Depending on your specific procedure, your Pakistani documents may need legalisation or an apostille before translation. The stamps and annotations must appear in the translation too. Check with your Standesamt or the German embassy whether this applies to your case. We are happy to advise: just mention your situation when requesting your quote.

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. You receive the PDF by email first, then the stamped original arrives by post. If you have an urgent appointment at the Ausländerbehörde or embassy, mention your deadline when requesting your quote, and we will let you know what is possible.
A clear scan or photo is sufficient. You do not need to send the original. Our sworn translator notes in the certification that the translation was made from a copy. German authorities accept this. Keep your original safe for your appointment.
Yes. Our translations are made by translators who are öffentlich bestellt und allgemein beeidigt, meaning officially appointed and sworn in by German courts. The Standesamt, Ausländerbehörde, Einbürgerungsbehörde, and German embassies all accept these certified translations.
You pay after delivery. First, you receive your certified translation. Then the invoice arrives with a 14-day payment period. No prepayment required, no credit card needed.
It depends on your specific procedure and which authority you are dealing with. Some German embassies and Standesämter require legalisation or apostille, others do not. If apostille or legalisation stamps are on your document, they must be included in the translation. We recommend checking with your authority first, then ordering the translation. Mention your situation in your quote request, and we will advise.
