How is this different from Google Translate / DeepL?
AI translations carry no certifying seal, no legal liability, and are rejected by foreign authorities. We translate through certified translators the destination accepts, with a signed certificate and stamp.
What does the translator's certificate look like?
A bilingual certificate (German/English or German/Thai) with the translator's stamp, signature, date and reference number for online verification.
Cancellation policy?
Before we start: full refund. After we start: pro-rated. After delivery: no refund.
Does the source document have to be an original?
A high-quality colour scan is fine for translation. Physical originals are required only when the certificate needs to be bound to the source for MFA/embassy filing.
Which document types do you handle?
All types: birth/marriage/divorce certificates, degrees, transcripts, driver's licences, contracts, financial statements, DBD company records, court judgments, and other official documents.
Can you translate FROM this language TO Thai as well?
Yes — German↔Thai both directions, same price and turnaround.
