German in Košice: Deutsche Telekom and beyond
The region’s largest German employer, Deutsche Telekom IT Solutions Slovakia, has been based in Košice since 2006 and employs roughly 4,000 people; German-owned names in the city also include Siemens Healthineers and the energy group VSE. For applicants and employees this means German employment contracts, internal HR documents and papers the company or its parent headquarters wants translated.
We translate both ways – Slovak documents into German for headquarters and German documents into Slovak for local authorities and courts.
Onboarding and relocation: the document package for HR
Joining a German-speaking company usually involves a criminal-record extract, a diploma with supplement or qualification certificates, and work-experience confirmations; when a family relocates, birth and marriage certificates for the registry office and the foreign police are added.
We prepare the whole package at once with consistent terminology; for HR departments we deliver translations electronically with a qualified signature.
Registry office, court, insurer: paperwork beyond the contract
Working for a German or Austrian employer leaves a paper trail outside the company too: a birth or marriage certificate for the registry office, a court judgment, a pension confirmation for an insurer, an employment reference (Arbeitszeugnis) from a previous job in Germany or Austria. These documents originate in three EU member states – Germany, Austria and Slovakia – where no apostille is required for most public documents and a sworn translation is enough.
For some civil-status documents an EU multilingual standard form is enough on its own, with no translation at all – we check that for you right at the quote stage.
Sworn or standard?
You need a sworn translation for authorities, courts, the register and usually for onboarding formalities; internal company texts, correspondence and documentation only need a standard translation from €12 per standard page.
For larger volumes we keep terminology consistent with a translation memory; confidential documents are handled under an NDA.
