Have a vaccination certificate translated into German
Vaccination records that the health office, hospital and university recognise without a query — vaccine, batch and date rendered in full and unambiguously.
A vaccination record is recognised only when every entry, every batch and every stamp is rendered in full
For nursery and school, starting work in healthcare, enrolment or entry, we translate your vaccination record in full — every vaccine name, batch number and date unambiguously assigned to a standard vaccination, stamps and doctors' notes included.
For the health office, nursery and school: the measles proof that is recognised without a query
Before admission to a communal facility, the complete proof is what counts. We translate the foreign vaccination record so that every immunisation can be assigned unambiguously.
Which vaccinations does the health office check on foreign vaccination records?
Health offices and communal facilities focus above all on the measles vaccination prescribed by the Measles Protection Act (Section 20(8) IfSG) and on the standard vaccinations recommended by STIKO. We translate the vaccine name, date and batch so that every immunisation can be assigned unambiguously.
Are batch numbers, stamps and signatures rendered as well?
Yes. Batch numbers, vaccination dates, practice stamps and doctors' signatures we reproduce in full and record stamps and seals of the original in square brackets — only then is the entry usable as proof.
How do you assign a foreign vaccine name to a German standard vaccination?
We state the vaccine name of the original and assign it, via the antigens it contains, to the corresponding standard vaccination, so that the examining body recognises measles, hepatitis B or tetanus beyond doubt.
Is a simple translation sufficient or must the vaccination record be certified?
For many health offices, employers and universities a professionally correct translation is sufficient; if the body expressly requires a certified version, we produce it by an authorised translator. Which form is needed is best clarified with the requesting body in advance.
For employers in healthcare and universities: complete proof before starting work
Hospitals and medical degree programmes require proof of vaccination and immunity before the first shift or the first semester begins. We deliver the translation in good time for the deadline.
What proof of vaccination does a hospital require from new staff?
Hospitals and care facilities require complete proof of vaccination and immunity from new staff, for example for hepatitis B or measles, before the employment contract takes effect. We render the entries so that the occupational physician recognises the status without a query.
Do you also translate titre and immunity findings?
Yes. Alongside the vaccination record we translate serological titre findings and medical immunity certificates — values, units and reference ranges stay unchanged, so that immunity is proven.
Is the proof recognised for enrolment in a medical degree programme?
Student registration offices of medical degree programmes recognise the vaccination status only when entries, stamps and notes are rendered correctly. We deliver the required form on time for the enrolment deadline.
How quickly do I receive the translation?
As a rule within a few working days, and for urgent cases by express; you usually receive the binding fixed-price quote within about two hours.
For entry and stays abroad: internationally readable proof
For travel, secondment or study abroad, authorities and diplomatic missions require proof they can read. We render the vaccination record in full into the required language.
Do you translate the International Certificate of Vaccination (yellow booklet)?
Yes. The WHO International Certificate of Vaccination or Prophylaxis — the yellow booklet — we translate in full, including the officially prescribed yellow fever entry with the stamp of the authorised vaccination centre.
Are foreign or digital vaccination certificates translated in a recognised way?
We render paper and digital vaccination records in full; entries, QR notes and stamps we reproduce so that the receiving authority or diplomatic mission can classify the status beyond doubt.
Do I need the translation certified for a visa or entry?
That depends on the requesting diplomatic mission or entry authority. If it requires a certified translation, we deliver it by an authorised translator with a certification note; we clarify the required form with you in advance.

Which vaccinations does the health office check on foreign vaccination records?
The public health office and community facilities pay particular attention to the measles vaccination required under the Measles Protection Act as well as to the standard vaccinations recommended by the STIKO. So that the evidence is recognised, we translate the vaccine name, date and batch so that every immunisation can be assigned unambiguously.
Is a simple translation sufficient or must the vaccination record be certified?
For employers, universities and many public health offices a technically correct translation is often sufficient; if the authority expressly requires a certified translation, we produce it through translators authorised or sworn in Germany. Which form is needed depends on the specific intended use – it is best to clarify this in advance with the requesting body.
Vaccination and health records that are recognised
For a vaccination record to hold up, every immunisation must be transferred clearly and completely. Alongside vaccination passes we translate medical Doctor's letters and findings, Study documents and medical Expert report – technically precise and strictly confidential.
