Then enter the source language and your desired target language, and you're good to go.

Alternatively, you can add it to your shopping cart, where you can also add other documents and certificates from our shop for translation. Once all your orders are in your shopping cart, select your payment method, enter your contact details, and submit.

Step 3 Have a certified translation created

Now it's our turn. We'll forward your order directly to our sworn translators. They'll create a professional, beautifully formatted translation of your ID card and certify it. We'll then send you the certified translation in two ways: You'll find it in your digital email inbox as a PDF within a very short time, and a hard copy will arrive in your mailbox shortly afterward.

And if you are satisfied with it, please leave us a positive review.

Frequently asked questions about ID card translations

Why do I need a certified translation for my identity card?

This depends on the regulations and requirements of the respective recipient. A certified or official translation confirms the accuracy of the content and is generally accepted abroad.

Where can I have my identity card translated?

Often, translated documents are only recognized internationally or in the desired target country if they are certified. Therefore, you should always have your ID card translated by a professional translation agency. Sworn translators will create certified translations, the quality and accuracy of which are confirmed with a stamp and signature.

Who translates and certifies an identity card?

An identity card may only be translated by sworn translators. These so-called authorized translators are state-certified, have taken an oath before a regional court, higher regional court, or an interior authority, and are authorized to translate and certify documents into other languages.

How do I determine the page count?

A single page is one side of a sheet of paper (regardless of word count). Front and back count as two separate pages. For translation purposes, we count all relevant pages of your original document. The total page count is the sum of all individual pages. Learn more here.

Are my data and document information kept confidential?

Our service holds certifications for translation services (ISO 17100), quality management (ISO 9001), and an excellent information security management system (ISO/IEC 27001).

Why have your identity card translated?

  • So you can get in anytime, anywhere

    Your identity card is – along with your birth certificate – probably one of the most important documents you own. Without it, no bouncer will (usually) let you into a nightclub, and you're unlikely to be allowed through a police check either. Your identity document is even more important when you're at a government office, a public agency, or in court. Without valid proof of identity, you generally won't get very far, as the relevant institutions check your data particularly carefully. For an ID card to be accepted by foreign authorities, its translation must be verified accordingly. That's exactly what we do for you: We translate your identity card and certify the translation so that it's recognized in the target country.

    You may need a certified translation of your ID card in a variety of situations. Before we get to that, one thing first: When you need a certified translation of your ID card always depends on the regulations and requirements of the relevant authority. Find out early on whether you need a certified translation or whether your original (or perhaps your passport) is sufficient.

  • Off we go – ID translations for visas or studies abroad

    Are you planning to spend the next few months or maybe even years abroad, but know you'll be heading home afterward? Then you're probably studying abroad or have taken on a temporary job abroad. And you'll probably need a visa for your stay or to provide identification in advance. Depending on the country, the relevant authority or office may request a certified translation of your identification documents. It may sound complicated at first, but with us, it's a breeze. We'll arrange a quick translation, including certification, of your ID card, so you can focus on what matters most.

  • Forever somewhere else – translations for emigration and co.

    If your plans are longer-term and involve permanent emigration, foreign authorities usually take a closer look at official documents. Depending on the country, they usually only accept certified translations of these documents. One of these documents that requires translation for immigration or emigration is usually a photo ID. Therefore, your ID should be provided as a certified translation in the target language. We can help you with this and translate your German ID card into English, French, Spanish, and other languages. Of course, we can also translate foreign ID cards into German.
