Certified German diploma translation for USCIS, universities, and employers

Academic documents must be translated with absolute precision. Our specialized team focuses on German diplomas, transcripts, and certificates, converting educational terminology, degrees, ECTS credits, and grading scales into clear English equivalents. We mirror formatting so admissions officers and evaluators can easily verify details.

Every certified translation includes a signed and dated Certificate of Accuracy on company letterhead. As an ATA member with BBB A+ credentials, Kings of Translation follows rigorous quality assurance: native German-to-English translators, independent proofreading, and final compliance checks for USCIS and university admissions.

We understand the nuances of German education terms—Abitur, Bachelor, Master, Staatsexamen, dual studies—and how they map to U.S. or international systems. Where needed, we add translator notes to clarify abbreviations, modules, practical semesters, and degree classifications without changing the original meaning.

Security is built into our workflow. Files are encrypted during transfer and storage, and only your assigned team accesses them. You receive a court-ready PDF and, if required, a printed copy with wet signature and stamp. Our goal is to remove uncertainty so you can submit with confidence, anywhere in the world.

Whether you’re applying to USCIS, a U.S. university, or a global employer, we provide consistent, compliant results aligned with typical evaluator expectations (e.g., WES/ECE). Requirements vary by institution, so we adapt formatting and statements accordingly at no extra hassle to you.

Getting started is simple: upload a clear scan or photo of your diploma and transcripts. We confirm page count, provide a transparent quote, and begin immediately after approval. Standard certified projects are completed within 24–48 hours, with same-day rush options available when timelines are tight.

For U.S. use, a certified translation is typically sufficient for USCIS and admissions offices. If a notary is required by a specific institution, we can notarize the translator’s declaration and arrange shipping of hard copies. For use in Germany or other countries, we can adjust the certification format to meet local expectations.

Pricing is straightforward: certified translations are $32.90 per page, and non-certified or business translations start at $0.06 per word. You always receive a clearly labeled PDF with our certification statement, translator signature, and contact details. On request, we include a stamp and seal for printed copies.

We work carefully with academic structure: subject titles, semester counts, credit hours/ECTS, grade scales (e.g., 1.0–4.0 German scale), and degree award dates. We keep original formatting logic, align tables, and reproduce footnotes so your submission looks professional and easy to assess.

Kings of Translation pairs each order with responsive support. If your university or evaluator provides a specific template or request, share it with us—we’ll match the layout. Our process is designed to reduce back-and-forth and help you submit accurately the first time.

Our certified German-to-English translations are designed for global use: USCIS immigration filings in the U.S., college and graduate school applications, professional licensing, and international job placements. Clients frequently submit our work to U.S. universities and to evaluators serving students moving from Germany to the United States or other countries.

Translations are accepted worldwide when they meet destination requirements. We follow best practices for submissions to U.S. authorities, Canadian and British institutions, Australian bodies, and European agencies. If an office requests a specific format, notarization, or hard copy, simply let us know at checkout. Our personalized approach and 98% return rate reflect a client-first mindset that supports successful outcomes across borders.
