Sworn German–Slovak Translation in Bratislava

Importing a car from Germany or Austria: registration translations

The most common German-language job: when you register an imported vehicle, the district office usually requests a sworn translation of the purchase contract or invoice and the German registration certificate – Zulassungsbescheinigung Teil I and Teil II (older Fahrzeugbrief and Fahrzeugschein). Requirements vary between offices, so we translate exactly the documents your office has requested.

Vehicle papers are short and standardised – the translation is ready quickly, so you meet the registration deadline.

Working and living in Austria and Germany

For work across the border we translate criminal-record extracts, diplomas and professional certificates, work-experience confirmations and trade-licence documents into German – typically for carers in Austria, tradespeople and healthcare workers. For a marriage in Austria or Germany – birth certificates and certificates of no impediment.

Under EU Regulation 2016/1191, authorities of member states are to accept a certified translation produced by a translator qualified in any EU country. In practice some German and Austrian offices interpret this more strictly – before you order, we advise whether a Slovak sworn translation will suffice in your case.

German and Austrian documents for Slovak authorities

For registry offices, courts and insurers we translate birth and marriage certificates, divorce decrees, inheritance decisions, pension confirmations from Germany and Austria, and employment references (Arbeitszeugnis). Between EU countries no apostille is required for most public documents – a sworn translation is enough.

And one thing we tell you straight: if your German or Austrian civil-status document comes with an EU multilingual standard form, the Slovak registry office often needs no translation at all. We tell you before you pay for something you don’t need.

Corporate and technical documents in German

Slovak industry runs on German-speaking partners – we translate contracts, commercial-register extracts (Handelsregisterauszug), technical and tender documentation, standards and manuals for the automotive and engineering sectors. Sworn where a court, register or bank requires it; standard translation from €12 per standard page for internal use.

For long-term cooperation we keep terminology consistent with a translation memory and a client glossary; confidential documents are handled under an NDA.
