When do you need a certified translation of your certificate of enrollment?

A certified translation of your certificate of enrollment is required in various important situations. Here are the most common use cases:

Study abroad

Erasmus and semester abroad: For applications to foreign universities, almost all universities require a certified translation of your German certificate of enrolment. This officially confirms your current student status and your enrollment at a German university. Particularly popular destination countries are the USA, Canada, Australia and Asian countries.

Full study abroad: If you come to Germany for a full course of study or transfer from Germany to another country, you will often need both your German and foreign versions of your study documents. 

Visa applications and residence permits

Student visa: When applying for a student visa for other countries, a certified translation of the certificate of enrolment is often mandatory. Embassies and consulates require this as official proof of your student status in Germany.

Residence permit: International students in Germany often have to submit certified translations of their certificate of enrollment when renewing their residence permit - especially if it was originally issued in another language.

Official and legal matters

Health insurance: When registering for foreign health insurance schemes or negotiating special student tariffs, a certified translation of the enrollment certificate is often required.

Tax concessions: In many countries, students can receive tax concessions. The certified translation of the certificate of enrollment serves as official proof of student status to the tax authorities.

Internships and professional activities

International internships: Many renowned companies abroad require a certified translation of the certificate of enrollment in addition to university certificates or transcripts of records when applying for internships. This confirms that the internship is part of a course of study and that the applicant is still actively studying.

Working student positions: When applying for working student positions at international companies or their German branches, a certified translation may be required, especially if the HR department is multilingual. You can find out more about working abroad here.

Special features of the translation of enrollment certificates

The translation of enrollment certificates requires special expertise, as these documents contain specific university and legal terminology:

University systems and study structures

German peculiarities: The German higher education system differs considerably from other countries. Terms such as "Fachhochschule", "Universität", "Berufsakademie" or "Duale Hochschule" often have no direct equivalent in other languages. Our sworn translators explain these differences clearly and comprehensibly.

Study sections: The German terms "Grundstudium", "Hauptstudium", "Bachelor/Mastersystem" or "Regelstudienzeit" need to be translated precisely and often explained additionally, as they are organized differently in other education systems.

Legal and administrative terminology

Enrolment status: Different student statuses such as "properly enrolled", "guest student", "part-time student" or "on leave of absence" have different legal meanings that must be transferred exactly.

Fees and contributions: German terms such as "Semesterbeitrag", "Studiengebühren", "Solidaritätszuschlag" or "Verwaltungsgebühr" not only have to be translated, but often also culturally classified.

Periods and semesters

Semester periods: The German semester system (winter semester/summer semester) differs from other countries. Our translators ensure that the periods are converted correctly and presented in an internationally understandable way.
