German-English Translation and Apostille Bundle
German-English Translation and Apostille Bundle
German documents used in the UAE almost always need two things: a Hague apostille and a certified translation into English or Arabic. Handling these steps separately — finding a German apostille agent, then finding a certified translator in the UAE — is time-consuming and expensive. Our bundled service combines both steps into a single, managed process with a single point of contact.
The bundle covers any type of German document: Geburtsurkunde, Heiratsurkunde, university degrees, Fuehrungszeugnis, Handelsregisterauszug, court documents, and more. We first process the apostille through the correct German state authority, then arrange certified translation of the apostilled document (including the apostille stamp itself) by a translator approved by the UAE Ministry of Justice or the relevant UAE authority.
This service is particularly valuable because the order of operations matters. The apostille must be completed first, and the translation must cover both the original document and the apostille certificate. Many clients who attempt this independently get the sequence wrong and end up with rejected translations or need to repeat steps. Our team ensures the correct workflow every time.
For clients who need multiple documents processed — for example, a family relocating to the UAE needing birth certificates, marriage certificate, degrees, and police clearances — we offer significant bundle discounts and coordinate all documents in parallel to minimise total processing time.

Insider Tips
Insider Tips
- If you are processing documents for an entire family (birth certificates, marriage certificate, degrees), submit everything together for maximum bundle savings.
- Specify whether the receiving UAE authority needs English, Arabic, or both translations. Providing unnecessary translations adds cost.
- For court-related documents in the UAE, the translation must be stamped by a UAE Ministry of Justice approved translator. Our Dubai team handles this requirement.
- Keep your original German documents safe. We work with notarised copies (beglaubigte Kopien) whenever possible to reduce risk during transit.
