Sworn translation of a diploma (Bac, Licence, Master)
Baccalauréat, Licence or Master diploma that needs to be recognised in Germany? I translate and certify your diploma for a university enrolment, a job search or a qualification recognition procedure.
This page applies to the Baccalauréat diploma as well as Licence and Master diplomas — the price is the same.
A diploma translated without official certification has no value with a German university, employer or authority. The sworn translation renders the exact wording of the diploma, the institution and any annotations, with my official seal and signature.
I translate Baccalauréat, Licence and Master diplomas issued in Cameroon and France. For a professional qualification recognition procedure, for example with the Zentralstelle für ausländisches Bildungswesen, the sworn translation is a standard requirement.
What you'll need
- The complete diploma, with all annotations and the institution's seal
- The matching transcript, if your application requires it (translated separately)
- The spelling of your name as shown in your passport
Frequently asked questions
Will my translation be accepted by the German authorities?
As a rule, yes: translations by a translator sworn in Germany are recognised by immigration offices, universities, registry offices and embassies. Some institutions additionally require an apostille or legalisation of the original; that remains your responsibility.
Do I need to send the original document?
No, a complete and legible scan or photo is enough. Make sure all pages, stamps and signatures are visible.
How long does delivery take?
Express: 2 business days. Standard: 4 business days. Delivery times start once payment and all documents have been received; weekends and public holidays don’t count. Postal delivery of the original takes additional time.
What if the translation contains an error or a name is misspelled?
Report it by email within [14] days of delivery and it will be corrected free of charge. Tip: give the spelling of names as in the passport when ordering.
