Documents You Need

A clear scan or photo of every page of your German document — front and back, including stamps, seals and any handwritten notes
A copy of your passport, so names are spelled exactly as they appear in it
The name of the authority that will receive the translation (court, ministry, embassy, bank, school or free zone), so we format it to that authority's requirements
Any earlier translation or attestation stamps on the document, so names and terms stay consistent
The original document, kept ready — some authorities ask to see it alongside the certified translation

How It Works — Step by Step

Send your document on WhatsApp or email, or drop it at any of our four offices — Dubai HQ (Al Twar), Abu Dhabi, Sharjah or Ras Al Khaimah.

Translation and review — a legal translator translates your German document and a second linguist proofreads it.
Certification — the translation is stamped and signed by an MOJ-licensed legal translator.
Collection or free delivery — pick it up from our office or use our free pickup and delivery. If the receiving authority asks for it, we can also arrange notarization or MOFA attestation.

German, Austrian and Swiss Documents: Urkunden and Register Extracts

German-language documents come mainly from Germany, Austria and Switzerland, and each country formats its records differently. The ones we translate most are:

Civil-status certificates (Urkunden): Geburtsurkunde (birth), Eheurkunde (marriage), Sterbeurkunde (death) and extracts from the family register, including multilingual international extracts where the German part still needs translating
Police certificates: the German Führungszeugnis and its Austrian and Swiss equivalents, for employment, residence and Golden Visa files
Company documents: Handelsregisterauszug (German commercial register extract), the Austrian Firmenbuchauszug, Swiss commercial register extracts, articles of association (Gesellschaftsvertrag) and shareholder resolutions
Education and employment: school and university certificates (Zeugnisse), diploma supplements and Arbeitszeugnisse, the German employment references written in a conventional rating language that we translate faithfully rather than paraphrase
Notarial deeds and court decisions for property, inheritance and family matters

Swiss documents may mix German, French and Italian on one page; we translate all of it in one certified translation.

Attestation Route for Germany, Austria and Switzerland

German papers start with the issuing office or a notary, are then authenticated by the competent federal or state authority, and finish at the UAE Embassy in Berlin, which now issues the UAE MOFA attestation digitally along with its own. Austria and Switzerland each have a national authentication step before the UAE Embassy in Vienna or Bern. A German, Austrian or Swiss apostille does not replace the embassy.

French, Italian and Russian Papers Alongside German

Swiss and multinational families rarely stop at German. Our French, Italian and Russian translators work from the same name list, so spellings stay aligned.
