Certified German translation that satisfies the strictest reviewer
Few bureaucracies read a translation as closely as the ones German documents pass through — USCIS officers, credential evaluators, German and Austrian consulates. EKO 4 National Translation Service has been preparing German-to-English certified translations for exactly those readers since 1991: every word and every stamp rendered by a sworn human translator, issued on official letterhead with a signed accuracy affidavit and wet stamp, and covered by our 100% acceptance guarantee — for clients in all 50 states.
German records also reach further back than most. Registry and church books written in Sütterlin, Fraktur or Kurrent hands, abbreviations left over from imperial and inter-war offices, and umlauts that must be transliterated one way and then never change (Müller or Mueller — your passport decides) are everyday work for our German team, which knows the Standesamt conventions of Germany, Austria and Switzerland alike. Express 24-hour delivery is available whenever the deadline demands it.

Why EKO 4 for this language
Sütterlin and Fraktur, read fluently
The pre-1940s handwriting on the records genealogy and citizenship cases hinge on is routine for our German linguists — every entry and marginal note translated, anything truly illegible flagged per certification practice.
USCIS-ready certification
Complete, word-for-word translation carrying the translator’s signed statement of accuracy and competence — precisely what 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3) asks for, honored by our 100% acceptance guarantee.
Descent files across generations
German and Austrian citizenship applications stack birth, marriage and naturalization records across generations. We keep names, places and terminology consistent through the whole file — and apostille it in the same order when required.
Need it official? One order covers the whole chain
Certified translation, notarization and apostille — handled in-house, in a single online order, wherever in the country you are.
Certified translation
Word-for-word translation with a signed accuracy affidavit, official letterhead and wet stamp — accepted by USCIS, courts and authorities nationwide.
Notarization
A licensed notary notarizes your translation 100% online — no office visit, ready as fast as the next business day.
Apostille
We obtain the apostille from the correct competent authority — the issuing state’s Secretary of State, or the U.S. Department of State for federal documents — end to end.
German translation — questions & answers

EKO 4 National Translation Service delivers professional, human translation
in up to 72 languages — coast to coast
Every certified translation at EKO 4 is produced by a vetted human linguist — educated, widely experienced and genuinely at home in both of their languages. That is what allows us to stand behind a 100% accuracy guarantee across more than three decades of work.
From our first project in 1991 to the 50,000+ clients we serve today, the formula has never changed: careful translators, disciplined proofreading and honest service. It is why a first order so often becomes a working relationship that lasts for years.
EUROPEAN
ASIAN, AFRICAN, MIDDLE EASTERN
No translation leaves our hands on a single pass. Before any linguist joins EKO 4 they are recruited, vetted, interviewed and examined; once on a project, their work moves through editors and project managers who proofread it again before it ever reaches you. That layered process is the machinery behind our 100% accuracy guarantee.
Most of our 500+ translators and editors have spent years inside international, multi-cultural projects, so the finished document does not merely say the right words — it speaks to the audience, authority or market it was written for.
Professionalism, precision and fair pricing, backed by a 100% quality guarantee. Wherever in the country you are, EKO 4 speaks your language — explore all of them on our languages page.
