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 Michigan 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.
Not in the list? We translate 37 document types, from passports and bank statements to patents, each with its own page and the same certification.Browse all documentsCoverage

The ones we hear most often, answered by our dispatch and project-management teams.
Can't find it here?
01Do Michigan courts require a licensed or certified German interpreter?
Michigan Court Rule 1.111 has courts appoint certified foreign language interpreters first, qualified interpreters when none is available. Tell us the court when you book and we assign a Certified Foreign Language Interpreter where the court requires one.
02Can you interpret at my USCIS interview in Michigan?
Yes. USCIS requires asylum applicants to bring their own interpreter and allows one at adjustment and naturalization interviews. We send German interpreters who have done interviews at the field offices serving Michigan: Detroit.
03Do you cover IEP meetings and school districts in Michigan?
Yes. German interpreters for IEP (special education) meetings, parent-teacher conferences and disciplinary hearings, on-site or by video, in districts across Michigan.
04Which German dialect do you cover in Michigan?
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.
