How much does a certified translation cost?

This is how the costs for your certified translation are calculated.

People usually only start thinking about the cost of a certified translation when they actually need one. Often, they're surprised: Why does it cost so much? And why are there different prices for my documents? Firstly, the translation must be done by sworn translators . Secondly, various factors influence the cost; the three most important are probably:

• the language combination
• the document type
• the document or text length

A certified translation – only by sworn translators

The most important quality feature that distinguishes a certified translation from any other professional translation is, of course, the certification. For most offices and authorities, this verification is necessary for the translation to be accepted. Only translators who are state-certified and sworn in before a regional court, higher regional court, or internal authority are authorized to produce certified translations. The certification is noted in the translation with a stamp and signature by the authorized translators. And because these trained and certified translators are involved, a certified translation is inherently more valuable than a "normal" translation.

A question of language(s)

The price of a translation – whether certified or not – always depends on the desired language combination, i.e., the source language of the document to be translated and the target language (e.g., German to English or Spanish to German). Some languages are more widely spoken than others, so there are also varying numbers of sworn translators for different language combinations. Depending on translator availability, costs will therefore vary, and this is understandably reflected in the price of the translation.

This has no impact on the quality; you will always receive an excellent translation from us. Our service is triple-certified: for excellent translation services (ISO 17100:2015), assured quality management (ISO 9001:2015), and complete information security (ISO/IEC 27001:2013).

Standard prices for standard documents

Many official documents are structured according to certain standards and always look the same. While the formats and content naturally vary from country to country, there are recurring patterns. For example, a German identity card always has the same structure, as do an English driver's license and a Spanish birth certificate. We generally consider personal identification documents, certificates, and (tabular) transcripts to be standard documents for which we offer certified translations at a fixed price. The translation prices are determined based on the typical length of the original text.

At Beglaubigung24, we offer fixed prices for these documents, among others:

Different amounts of text, different costs

Some document types differ in both structure and text length; these are usually documents with continuous text. A prime example is contracts. Sometimes they are just 5 pages long, sometimes over 20 (or more). With each additional page, the workload for the translators increases, and to account for this, we calculate the translation costs per page (not per word!) in these cases. Therefore, it is very important that you specify the correct number of pages for your document when placing your order. This way, you will immediately see the correct price, and we will know from the outset how much we need to translate for you.

At Beglaubigung24, we offer page rates for these documents, among others:
