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, recognition authorities, and other government offices. A regular translation, even by a professional, will be rejected at the counter. Our translators are court-sworn throughout Germany, so your documents will be accepted in Wolfsburg and anywhere else in the EU.

When You Need Certified Translations in Wolfsburg

Wolfsburg is home to Volkswagen and dozens of automotive suppliers, drawing professionals from around the world. Whether you are joining VW, working for a supplier, or accompanying a family member, German authorities will ask for certified translations of your key documents. Here are the most common situations:

Employment at Volkswagen or Automotive Suppliers

Starting a job in Wolfsburg? Your employer and the authorities need proof of your qualifications and employment terms.

Residence Permit or EU Blue Card

The Ausländerstelle Wolfsburg requires certified translations of your employment contract and qualifications for visa and Aufenthaltstitel applications.

Recognition of Foreign Qualifications

Engineers, technicians and other professionals often need their foreign degrees formally recognised (Anerkennung) to work in their field. Certified translations are explicitly required.

  • Diploma
  • Transcript of records
  • Employment references

Converting Your Foreign Driving Licence

If you come from outside the EU, you may need to convert your driving licence to a German one. The Führerscheinstelle in Wolfsburg typically requires a certified translation of your foreign licence.

  • Driving licence
  • Registration certificate (Meldebescheinigung)
  • Passport or ID

What We Need From You

Getting your certified translation is simple. Here is what you should prepare:

  • A clear scan or photo of your document (originals are not required)
  • The target language (usually German for use in Wolfsburg)
  • Brief note on the purpose (e.g. Blue Card application, qualification recognition)

Good to know

Some foreign documents require an Apostille before they can be officially used in Germany. This depends on the country that issued your document. If you are unsure, check with the Ausländerstelle Wolfsburg or the recognition authority first. We can translate the Apostille as well if needed.

Dealing With Wolfsburg Authorities

When you submit documents to the Ausländerstelle (foreigners' office), the Führerscheinstelle, or a recognition authority, your translations must meet German legal standards. Here is what you should know:

  • Translations must be made by a vereidigter Übersetzer (sworn translator) to be accepted
  • Non-certified translations or translations by non-sworn translators are typically rejected
  • For recognition of qualifications, authorities explicitly require certified translations (see Make it in Germany)
  • Some documents from non-Hague Convention countries may also need legalisation

Recent changes to German immigration law have broadened access to residence permits and naturalisation. This means more people than ever are applying, and more certified translations are needed. Do not let a missing or incorrect translation delay your start date or appointment. According to the Federal Office for Migration and Refugees (BAMF), recognition procedures require documents in German, and certified translations are explicitly recommended.

Avoid common mistakes

Do not submit a non-certified translation or forget to check if your documents need an Apostille. Incomplete document sets (e.g. diploma without transcript) are another common cause of delays. When in doubt, ask the authority or contact us for advice.

Your Questions, Our Answers

How long does a certified translation in Wolfsburg take?

Most translations are ready in 3 to 6 business days. Short documents like a driving licence or diploma are often at the faster end. Remember to also allow time for the authorities themselves to process your application once you submit your translation.

Do I need to send the original document?

No. A clear scan or photo from your phone is enough for us to prepare your translation. Keep your originals safe for your appointments at the Ausländerstelle or other offices, as they may ask to see them.

Are your translations accepted by the Ausländerbehörde and other authorities in Wolfsburg?

Yes. Our translations are made by translators officially sworn in by German courts. This is exactly what the Ausländerstelle Wolfsburg, recognition authorities, and other government offices require. Our certified translations are accepted throughout Germany and the EU.

When do I pay for my translation?

You pay only after you receive your translation. The invoice is included with your delivery, and you have 14 days to pay by bank transfer. No prepayment is required.

Do my documents need an Apostille before translation?

It depends on the country that issued your document and the authority you are submitting to. Many public documents from Hague Convention countries need an Apostille, while others may need legalisation. Check with the relevant authority before ordering. If your Apostille needs to be translated as well, we can do that.
