Certified translation German / English
I am a sworn and publicly appointed translator so my certified translations are accepted by German authorities, for example: Standesamt / Rathaus / Bürgerbüro, Ausländerbehörde, Elterngeldstelle, Arbeitsamt etc. They are also accepted by foreign authorities.
Certified translations of certificates bear my official seal and signature. In the attestation clause on the translation I certify that the translation is both accurate and complete. It will include my name, title, official capacity, and contact details.
