Learn more about my translation rates and how I work

Translating is not only typing words, it is an art. In addition to translating your document I also make sure your translation looks as close as possible to the original document. This demands a lot of precise formatting work.
You will get a translation according to DIN EN 15038 standard, which means I use the second set of eyes principle - all my translations are proofread by a second professional translator skilled in the same field.
The costs for any additional copy of the certified translation are €10.
In need of a last-minute translation? For my express service, a 30% surcharge is billed.
In accordance with the small business regulation (Kleinunternehmerregelung) of § 19 (1) of the law on turnover tax (UStG) the invoice amount does not contain taxes.
As a native - born and raised in Germany - I have lots of local knowledge that could help you to settle into your new life in Germany.
With me, you won't get a cheap translation, but a high-quality translation at a competitive price.

You will get a price based on facts

Every document is different. Even documents from the same country look different, depending on the state or region the document is from. The translation of an Indian birth certificate, for example, can have 11 or 44 standard lines, which makes a difference of €60 for the translation costs. For you to get the best price, I treat every document individually.

You will get a cost estimate for the translation after I had a look at your documents. The final price, however, depends on the final number of standard lines of the translation and can be given after completion of the translation. Your invoice amount will usually be the same as the estimated costs – or even lower.

„Quick, responsive, and competitive pricing! Daniela translated everything for our drivers license exchange. Her English is great, which was so helpful when I was new to the country. I highly recommend her translation services – we will definitely use her again!“

„I needed my birth certificate translating within one or two working days before a Standesamt appointment, by a registered translator. Daniela was quick to reply to my request and was able to complete the job in time at a very fair price. I picked the paperwork up and everything was professionally done and exactly as necessary for the appointment. I’d happily use Daniela’s services again should I need anything translating in the future.“
