Complete German apostille translation, notarisation, and legalisation services

From start to finish, we handle every step. First, a native German specialist translates your document into English (or English into German) with careful attention to names, legal terms, and formatting. The translation is then quality checked by a second linguist to ensure accuracy and consistency with the source document and its intended purpose.

Next, we issue a signed certification confirming the translation’s accuracy. Where required by the receiving authority, we arrange notarisation on the same day. Our team then submits the notarised document for apostille certification with the UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO), in line with UK regulations and Hague Convention requirements.

Turnarounds are clear: translation typically 24–48 hours, same‑day notarisation, and apostille completion in approximately 1–3 weeks (subject to FCDO processing and service level). We provide secure digital copies and can ship hard copies via tracked post or international courier to any country.

If you need broader guidance, see our parent page for apostille translation services or explore our full range of certified translation services. Our mission is simple: one order, one team, and globally accepted results without multiple office visits.

Whether you’re presenting documents to the UK Home Office, a British university, a UK court, or authorities overseas, we prepare translations to meet specific submission rules. Our certified translations are produced on company letterhead with translator certification statements, and where required, solicitor or notary public seals for added formality.

Apostille certification confirms the authenticity of the notary’s signature and seal, enabling recognition in 120+ countries under the Hague Apostille Convention. If your destination country is not a signatory, we can arrange onward consular legalisation upon request, ensuring your documents are accepted globally for immigration, study, employment, business, or personal matters.

We also support the reverse path—using UK documents in Germany—and can translate German↔English for contracts, corporate records, academic transcripts, birth and marriage entries, and court documents. Security matters: we use encrypted workflows, provide NDAs on request, and maintain strict confidentiality at every stage.

For identity workflows often requested alongside legalisation, we also provide passport translation. As a BBB A+ accredited and ATA member agency, Kings of Translation delivers reliable compliance and consistent quality that withstands official scrutiny in the UK and worldwide.
