These are typical situations for Italian-German translations: 

Over 600,000 Germans live in Italy. Many of their documents have to be translated for the authorities. In some cases, a certified translation is even the only option. But when exactly is a certified translation required? 

Life and family

Marriage with an Italian partner: To get married in Italy, you will need a certified translation of your German birth certificate into Italian. The Italian registry office (Comune) only accepts officially translated documents. In addition, you will often need proof of unmarried status, which also needs to be certified translated.

Dual citizenship Italy-Germany: Particularly popular with descendants of Italian immigrants. You often need Italian-German translations for your civil status documents. We translate birth certificates, marriage certificates and death certificates.

Family reunification in Germany: If your Italian partner or your Italian parents-in-law want to move to Germany, German translations of all Italian documents are important. German authorities require particularly precise translations of the "Stato di Famiglia" (proof of marital status).

Profession and education

Study in Italy (Erasmus and full degree programs): Italian universities require certified Italian translations of your Abitur and all university certificates. Particularly important: the correct translation of the German grading scale into the Italian system. We explain the differences between the German and Italian grading systems in our specialist translations.

Working in South Tyrol: For job applications in South Tyrol, you often need both German and Italian versions of your references. South Tyrolean employers appreciate bilingual application documents, as both languages are used equally.

Business and real estate

Buying real estate in Italy: Italian notaries often require proof of income, bank certificates and powers of attorney. Particularly important: the correct translation of land register extracts and mortgage documents, as Italian and German real estate law differ greatly.

Business with Italian companies: Contracts, powers of attorney and excerpts from the commercial register must be certified translations. German companies wishing to establish branches in Italy require German-Italian translations of their articles of association and balance sheets.

Pension and social benefits

Drawing a pension in Italy: German pensioners who emigrate to Italy must have their German pension statements translated. This requires the tax and social security documents. Conversely, Italian pensioners also need their Italian pension certificate ("Certificato di Pensione") for German tax authorities and health insurance companies.

Special regional features of German - Italian translations

South Tyrol: Mastering trilingual challenges

South Tyrolean documents place special demands on our sworn translators. Many official documents here are written in three languages - German, Italian and Ladin. Our Italian - German translators are familiar with the specific requirements of the South Tyrolean administration and take into account that some terms are used differently from region to region. 

Frequently translated South Tyrolean documents: Certificates of residence, marital status and trade licenses required for both German and Italian authorities.

Special features of recognition in major German cities

German authorities in Munich, Frankfurt and Stuttgart have developed special experience with Italian documents due to the high Italian population density.

Munich offices, for example, know the differences between the "Estratto di Nascita" and the "Certificato di Nascita" and accept both variants - provided that the translation explains the legal differences.

Frankfurt authorities attach particular importance to correct translations of the "Codice Fiscale", as this is often required for banking transactions and tax matters. It is therefore also important to have the translations professionally certified.

Typical regional documents and their translation requirements

In Bavaria, Italian marriage certificates are particularly frequently required for church weddings, as many Italian couples wish to marry both in a civil and a church ceremony.

North Rhine-Westphalia also has a high demand for Italian translations, for example of pension certificates and social security documents, due to historical labor migration.

Special features of translations between Italian and German

Certified translations between Italian and German require special expertise due to linguistic and cultural differences:

1. different sentence structures Italian sentences are often structured differently from German sentences. What sounds natural in Italian sometimes seems strange in German and vice versa. Our German to Italian translators ensure that both versions can be read fluently.

2. words that can be deceptive Some words sound similar in both languages but mean something completely different. For example, "il caldo" means "warmth" in Italian, although it sounds like the German "kalt". Our translators are aware of such traps and avoid them.

3. different cultures Some terms only exist in Germany or only in Italy. The German education system works differently from the Italian one. Our translators explain such differences clearly and comprehensibly in official documents.

4. politeness in both languages Germans and Italians address each other politely in different ways. Depending on the situation - whether it's a public authority, court or university - our Italian to German translators will choose the appropriate form of address for your documents.
