personal ID card translated

Alongside your birth certificate, your identity document is probably one of the most important documents you own. Without your ID, no bouncer will let you into a venue, and you probably won’t be allowed through any police checkpoints either. This identity document becomes even more important in the context of public authorities or courts of law. Without valid proof of identity, you usually won’t get far; the relevant institutions will check your details very carefully. In order for an identity card to be accepted by foreign authorities, its translation must be verified accordingly. And that’s where we come in: We’ll translate your ID and certify the translation so that it is recognised in your destination country.

You may need a certified translation of your personal ID in a variety of situations. But before we get to that, we’d like to mention one more thing: The question of when you must provide a certified translation of your identity document always depends on the regulations and requirements of the competent authority. So find out early on whether you actually need a certified translation or whether the original (or perhaps your passport) is sufficient.

Are you thinking about spending a few months or even years abroad but you already know that you’ll be returning home at some point? Maybe you’re planning to study abroad or have taken a temporary job abroad. And you will probably need a visa for your stay, or at least you will need to prove your identity in advance. Depending on the country, the competent authority or office may require a certified translation of your identity documents. This might sound complicated or time-consuming, but we’ll take care of it in a flash. We’ll deliver a quick translation, including certification, of your identity document, leaving you free to concentrate on what’s important to you.

If your plans are more long-term and you want to emigrate permanently, foreign authorities usually look very closely at the official documents. Generally, depending on the country, they only accept certified translations of these documents. One of the documents which needs to be translated for emigration or migration is usually a photo ID. Your identity document should therefore be ready as a certified translation in the target language. We can translate your German identity card into English, French, Spanish and many other languages. It goes without saying that we can also translate an international identity document into German.
