High school diploma

Finished with school and planning to go abroad after your Abitur (university entrance qualification)? Whether you intend to study elsewhere, start an apprenticeship, or work directly, you will most likely need to provide a certified translation of your German Abitur certificate. The admissions office of your new university might require proof of eligibility, or your potential employer might not understand your academic achievements. Depending on your destination, we translate and certify your Abitur certificate – including a stamp and signature from our sworn translators – to and from numerous languages, including English, French, and Spanish.

What we don't do, by the way, is translate your grades into a different grading system. Some countries use different grading systems than we do in Germany (1/"very good", 2/"good", etc., or 15, 14, 13, etc. points). For example, in England or the USA, grades are given using letters (A, B, C, etc.). We are not allowed to adjust your grades and translate all grades literally. In doing so, a "very good" becomes a "very good".

In most cases, you'll need a certified translation of your high school diploma immediately after graduation. However, this isn't always the case. For example, if you're applying for an internship abroad during your studies, your high school diploma is still your most recent and likely highest qualification. And your potential employer will certainly want to see and understand it. In that case, you might need a certified translation – even one or two years (or more) after graduating. Therefore, always find out in advance which documents you need to have translated and submitted for an application. One thing is certain: no matter how long ago you graduated, we provide certified translations of your diploma.

The Abitur, also known as the general qualification for university entrance, is your ticket to studying at a university or college – in Germany and abroad. If you've decided to take this path, don't let anything hold you back. Not even (excessive) costs. As a student, money can sometimes be tight. And because we understand this, we offer certified translations of your Abitur certificate at student-friendly prices. Guaranteed.

Going abroad for studies or a job right after graduating from high school is a big step. Naturally, you want to be absolutely sure everything is perfect. That's why we place the utmost importance on ensuring your high school diploma translation is flawless and recognized and accepted everywhere in the new language. How do we do that? At Beglaubigung24, the translation of your high school diploma is triple-secured: through our certifications for our translation services (ISO 17100:2015), our quality management system (ISO 9001:2015), and our information security (ISO/IEC 27001:2013).

You will usually need to have your high school diploma translated and certified for one of these cases:

- Studying abroad (Bachelor's or Master's)
- Semester abroad
- Student exchange
- Working abroad

You will often need further certified translations for these matters, for example of your school certificates, internship certificates, or employment references. You can easily order these from our shop as well.

At Betreuigung24, we translate your high school diploma verbatim. This means we translate the document's content from the original language into your desired target language without any substantive or formal changes, and certify the translation with a stamp and signature. Grades are not converted to a different grading system.

You can, of course, translate your high school diploma yourself or use an online translation tool, but be aware: authorities, schools, universities, and most employers generally don't accept such translations! To be absolutely certain that all achievements and grades are translated correctly, you will usually need a certified translation of your high school diploma. This guarantees that a sworn translator has prepared the translation and that the content of the translated certificate matches the original.
