The Issuing Authority

What makes a real beglaubigte Übersetzung.

Four things have to line up before a Germany authority will accept your translation. Tap each one to see what it means — and why a U.S. notarized "certified" translation doesn't qualify.

Why Our Firm

One of the few U.S. firms doing real German sworn translation.

Most American "translation agencies" can only issue a notarized accuracy statement — refused at every Germany ministry, consulate, and court. We work directly with active OLG-appointed translators.

Common Rejections

Why Germany files get bounced.

These are the exact mistakes that send Germany visa, homologation, and nationality files back to applicants — and the reason most U.S. "certified" translations are refused on intake.

We Prevent All of These

Every order is reviewed against OLG formatting rules before delivery. If a Germany authority ever rejects a translation we produced, we redo it free of charge.
