Certified translation German/English

I am a sworn and publicly appointed translator so my certified translations („beglaubigte Übersetzung“) are accepted by German authorities, for example: Standesamt, Rathaus, Bürgerbüro, Ausländerbehörde, Elterngeldstelle, KVR München, Arbeitsamt etc. They are also accepted by foreign authorities.
