German to English - Certified Translation of Vehicle Import Documents

Certified Translation of Vehicle Import Documents

Most of my clients are not aware that there are no sworn or certified translators in the UK. For the British authorities and insurance companies to accept certified German to English translations of vehicle import documents, qualified translators and members of a professional institute like the Chartered Institute of Linguists or the Institute of Translation and Interpreting certify their own translations. These translations are subsequently accepted be the Home Office, British courts, all other UK government bodies and by banks and other financial institutions for all requirements.

The Home Office, courts and financial institutes approve certified translations of all official documents provided by professional translators resident in the UK provided:

• these translators are full members of an official professional language association, for example the Institute of Translation & Interpreting (ITI) and the Chartered Institute of Linguists (CIoL).
• or these translators work for a language agency  that is a full member of the Association of Translation Companies.

Home Office guidance for the certified translation vehicle import documents from German to English

For a certified translation of an official document that’s not written in English or Welsh to be accepted:

• The translation has to be accompanied by a full translation that can be independently verified by the Home Office. All translations must include:
• Confirmation from the translator that the translation is an accurate English language version of the original document(s)
• The date of the translation
• The translator’s full name and signature. Stamps are not required.
• The translator’s qualifications and professional affiliation
