What is a Diploma Supplement translation?

A Diploma Supplement translation is a certified translation of the detailed academic record accompanying your university diploma. It includes information on courses, grades, ECTS credits, and qualifications, and must be translated by a sworn translator for official use in Germany.

Are your translations officially recognized in Germany?

Yes. All translations are certified by a court-sworn translator (OLG Hamm) and are legally recognized by universities, employers, ZAB, and government authorities throughout Germany.

How long does a Diploma Supplement translation take?

Most translations are completed within 1–2 business days. Express options are available for urgent cases.

Can I submit my document digitally?

Yes. You can send a high-quality scan or photo of your Diploma Supplement via email or upload it securely on the website. Certified digital (PDF) versions are also available.

In which regions do you provide your services?

I provide certified translation services across Germany—including Detmold, Bielefeld, Paderborn, Cologne, Düsseldorf, Hamburg, Munich, and Berlin—as well as internationally in the UK, Ireland, Austria, and Turkey.

Do you offer translations for other academic documents?

Yes. I also translate academic transcripts, module handbooks, course descriptions, and grading system explanations required for recognition or admission in Germany.
