Translation Services in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern

Businesses can order translation services for hotel and holiday-rental websites, tour offers, product labels for regional food producers, and technical documents from shipyards and energy developers. English is the lead language, followed by Swedish, Russian, and Polish, which reflects the state's Baltic ties and visitors from neighboring countries. Our translation agency works remotely with native linguists, so a small business in Stralsund gets the same process as a firm in Rostock.

Residents and students deal with the Standesamt of the Hanseatic City of Rostock or of their own municipality, with the Ausländerbehörde of the district or city, and with the universities of Rostock and Greifswald and the Hochschule Wismar. Patient records and medical reports for the university hospitals in Rostock and Greifswald can be translated by medical specialists. Outside Germany, the same documents may be requested by USCIS, a Swedish or Polish authority, or an Italian Comune.

Clients who need certified translation services for a notary, a registry office, or a European consulate receive a signed certificate of accuracy with each document, as a signed PDF and, on request, as a paper original by post. Courts such as the Landgericht Rostock, the Landgericht Schwerin, the Landgericht Stralsund, and the Landgericht Neubrandenburg may instead ask for a translator sworn before a German regional court, and the Oberlandesgericht Rostock sits above them. Whatever the destination, the receiving authority decides what it accepts, so tell us who will read the translation.

An apostille is issued by the country that issued the document, never by the translator. Documents exchanged with EU neighbors such as Poland and Sweden often follow the simplified EU rules for public documents, while papers for the US still rely on the apostille. We translate the original in either case and attach the certificate of accuracy to the translation.

Interpreting needs follow the season and the sector. Hanse Sail Rostock, cruise calls in Warnemünde, ferry and port business, and hospitality training are typical occasions, while hearings at local Amtsgerichte and appointments at the university hospitals need consecutive interpreters. Our professional interpreting services include on-site interpreters who travel to the venue and remote sessions by video for short meetings.

Research is another strand. The marine research institute in Warnemünde, the plasma-physics institute in Greifswald, and the state's universities collaborate internationally, so academic papers, grant applications, and conference materials also need native-level translation.
