Official statements – translation and legalization

Most common statements

• From an employer – length of service, income, position; often with a job description
• From a school or university – enrolment, grades, transfer
• From the tax authority – income, no outstanding liabilities, tax registration
• From the social security institute – insurance record and income

What to check

• The statement has a reference number, date, signature and seal
• A school statement must also be signed by the head teacher, not only the class teacher
• Some certificates must first be certified by the issuing institution before the apostille – we will tell you if this applies

Length and deadline

Statements are usually one page, so translation is quick – often possible as a same-day express order.
