Why does it need to be certified?
German authorities only accept documents in German or with a certified translation. A sworn translator (vereidigter Übersetzer) is officially appointed by a German court and confirms that the translation is accurate and complete. The translation receives an official stamp and signature, making it legally valid. This is required by German law: a simple translation or even a notarized translation from Ukraine is not sufficient for German offices like the Jobcenter, Ausländerbehörde, or Standesamt.
When you need a certified Ukrainian-German translation
Navigating German bureaucracy can feel overwhelming, especially when you are dealing with documents in a different language and script. Whether you have recently arrived in Germany, are applying for benefits, or need to get your qualifications recognized, you will likely need official translations of your Ukrainian documents. German authorities require certified translations for nearly every official process, from registering with the Jobcenter to applying for a residence permit at the Ausländerbehörde. The Federal Office for Migration and Refugees (BAMF) provides comprehensive information for Ukrainian citizens in Germany.
Our translations are prepared by sworn translators who are officially registered with German courts. This means your documents will be accepted without question, helping you move forward with your applications and appointments.

Ukrainian documents we translate
We translate all types of Ukrainian documents for use with German authorities. Whether your document is from the Soviet era, written in Ukrainian or Russian, or includes handwritten entries, our sworn translators have the expertise to handle it correctly.
Personal documents
Your birth certificate (свідоцтво про народження) is needed for almost every official process in Germany: residence permits, marriage registration, child benefits, school enrollment, and family reunification. We also translate marriage certificates, divorce decrees, death certificates, and name change documents.
Identity documents
The Ukrainian internal passport (внутрішній паспорт) contains important information about your identity, family status, and registration. German authorities often require translations of specific pages. We can translate the entire passport or only the pages you need, depending on what the authority requests.
Educational documents
For job applications, qualification recognition, or university admission, you will need translations of your diploma, school certificates, transcripts, and professional qualifications. The Jobcenter often requires these to assess your qualifications and help you find appropriate employment. You can check if your Ukrainian degree is recognized in Germany using the Anabin database.
Documents from Soviet times
If your document was issued during the Soviet era or contains Russian language elements, that is not a problem. Our translators are experienced with older document formats and will translate them correctly for German authorities.
What we need from you
- Scan or photo of your document: A clear photo from your smartphone is sufficient. You do not need to send the original document.
- Target language: In this case German. If you need a translation into Ukrainian, we can do that as well.
- Purpose of the translation: What do you need it for? (e.g., Jobcenter, Ausländerbehörde, Standesamt) This helps us use the correct terminology.
Do you need an apostille?
For most German authority procedures, the certified translation is sufficient. In some cases, particularly for older Ukrainian documents or specific applications, an apostille may also be required. We are happy to advise whether you need one and help arrange it if necessary.
