For foreign civil-status documents – birth certificate, marriage certificate, certificate of no impediment – the registry office normally requires a certified translation by a translator publicly appointed and sworn in Germany.
Who may produce a certified translation?
Only court-sworn translators may attest the accuracy with a stamp and signature. A plain translation is not accepted by the authority.
