German employers and authorities expect references in German. For professional recognition (Berufsanerkennung) and Blue Card applications, a certified translation of your employment references is often mandatory.
Yes. German work references follow a specific coded language and structure. Our translators understand both the source format and how to produce a translation that reads naturally in a German professional context.
Yes. We translate employment references, recommendation letters, and testimonials from all countries and in all major languages.
For official purposes (visa applications, Berufsanerkennung, IHK assessments), you need a certified translation. For informal job applications, a regular translation may suffice.
Employment reference translations are priced at €59 for the first page. Additional pages are €25 each. A 3-page reference would be €109.
Standard delivery is 48 hours. Express (24h, +€20) and same-day digital (6h, +€40) are available for single-page references.
You are. Upload every page of every reference, including signatures and letterhead. We translate exactly what we receive — illegible passages or missing pages in your scan will be reflected in the translation.
No. The fee is for the translation work itself, not for guaranteed acceptance by an employer or authority. Once a sworn translator completes and certifies the translation, the fee is non-refundable — including if it's later rejected by a third party.
