If you also need translations
If you also need German documents translated before your appointment
Certified English translations of German documents come from the same account, delivered as a PDF you can print or upload. These are the ones courts, USCIS, clinics and schools ask for.
USCIS interviews
USCIS requires a complete English translation with a signed certification for every German document in the file, and the officer can ask to see the originals at the interview.
Courts and depositions
The interpreter voices testimony. Contracts, sworn statements, prior transcripts and messages in German come in as certified translations the court can file.
Hospitals and clinics
Immunization records, prescriptions and discharge summaries from abroad go into the chart in English; the same translations serve school enrollment and insurance claims.
Schools and universities
Enrollment, placement and admissions run on transcripts and diplomas in English. The district handles its own notices in German; the family brings the previous school’s records.

German FAQ
Answers about German questions.
The ones we hear most often, answered by our dispatch and project-management teams.
Can't find it here?
01Are your German interpreters certified?
Yes. Court-certified and medically credentialed German interpreters are assigned to legal and clinical matters — Federal Court Interpreter Certification, state court rosters, CCHI / NBCMI for medical. For community, educational and corporate settings we assign professionally trained interpreters matched to the subject.
02Do you cover all German dialects?
Swiss German spoken dialects are mutually difficult for Standard German speakers; Swiss written German is Standard but uses ß-less orthography. Austrian German uses distinct administrative terminology.
03What German interpretation settings do you cover most often?
German interpretation is mostly boardroom, M&A, patent litigation and technical audits. We cover both Swiss German (with an interpreter from Switzerland) and Austrian German as specialty dialect requests.
04Do you support HIPAA-compliant video for German?
Yes. Clinical VRI sessions run on a HIPAA-aligned platform with a Business Associate Agreement (BAA) on file, encrypted media, audit logs and no retained recordings.
