Have a registration certificate translated into German
Registration certificates that the bank, registry office and consulate recognise without a query — simple or extended version, certified and translated in full.
Whether simple or extended registration certificate — the right version determines recognition
For the bank, employer, registry office or consulate we translate your registration certificate in certified form — from the simple confirmation of residence to the extended version with marital status and nationality.
For the bank, employer and contractual partner: residence proven quickly
The simple registration certificate confirms name, date of birth and current address. For opening an account, concluding a contract or registrations it is usually sufficient — we translate it in certified form and quickly.
What does the simple registration certificate contain?
It shows the basic data from the population register: surname, first names, date of birth and current residential address. As proof of residence to banks, employers or mobile providers, this version is as a rule sufficient.
Who issues the registration certificate?
The competent body is exclusively the citizens' office or residents' registration office of the municipality in which you are registered. An authorised translator with a certification note produces the translation ready for submission.
How quickly is the certified translation ready?
Registration certificates are short and clearly structured; the certified translation is as a rule available within a few working days, and you usually receive the fixed-price quote within a few hours.
For the registry office, consulate and authority: marital status and nationality proven
If a body requires more than the address — for example the registry office before a marriage — you need the extended registration certificate. We translate the additional information in full and unambiguously.
How does the extended registration certificate differ from the simple one?
The extended version additionally contains information such as marital status, nationality, religious affiliation and the minor children living in the household. Registry offices and consulates frequently require exactly this version — we translate it in full.
Do I need an apostille for use abroad?
Possibly. If the registration certificate is presented abroad, the destination state frequently requires an apostille on this administrative document; this is granted by the competent state authority, not the translation agency. We advise on the correct sequence of apostille and translation.
Is all the information rendered word for word?
Yes. Marital status, nationality and further register data we render word for word; abbreviations of the registration authority we resolve professionally, without changing the meaning.

Translate a registration certificate – frequently asked questions
Do you translate simple and extended registration certificates?
Yes – we translate both versions in certified form, including all registered persons and periods, if included.
How quickly is it ready?
Quote usually in about 120 minutes; the certificate is generally translated at short notice.
Is the translation recognised abroad?
We provide a certified translation by translators authorised or sworn in Germany; recognition is decided by the submitting body, and an apostille may be required.
What does the translation cost?
From €0.95 per standard line; for the short certificate you receive a fixed price in advance.
Which authority issues the certificate of registration?
The registration certificate is issued by the citizens' office or residents' registration office of your place of residence (in some cities the customer centre or district office) – not the registry office and not the immigration authority. We translate the basic or extended certificate issued there as a certified translation for submission to authorities, banks and consulates abroad.
How recent must the registration certificate be for foreign authorities?
Foreign registry offices, banks and consulates usually require the certificate of registration in a version no older than three to six months, since it is intended to prove the current place of residence. Therefore plan the certified translation promptly after issuance – we usually deliver the fixed-price quote within a few hours.
Translation of residence and civil-status records
With proof of registration, the right version is what matters: anyone who needs the extended certificate will not get far with the basic one. Alongside the registration certificate we often also translate for the same procedures the Birth certificate, the Passport and the Residence permit – certified and consistent.
