Need a certified translation for a digital submission? For suitable assignments, I can provide a version with a qualified electronic signature (QES). I work with clients in Düsseldorf and accept online enquiries from across Germany.
What does QES mean for your translation?
A QES is an electronic signature that can support a paperless document process. It may let you receive and forward a signed file without printing and posting it. Whether this is suitable depends on the requirements of the authority or organisation receiving your translation.
Check the recipient’s rules before ordering
Ask the office, court, university or employer whether it accepts a QES-signed PDF for your specific procedure. Confirm whether it also requires a paper copy, a particular file format or a specific way of submitting the document. Requirements can differ even between organisations handling similar documents.
- Is an electronically signed PDF accepted?
- Does the recipient require an additional paper copy?
- Are there file, delivery or accompanying-document instructions?
What should you include in your request?
Send clear copies of every page, including reverse sides, stamps and handwritten notes. Tell me the language direction, the recipient and the purpose of the translation. Mention that you need QES and attach any instructions you received from the organisation. This makes it easier to confirm the right format before work begins.
Timing and quotation
Translations are usually completed within 24–48 hours. Actual timing depends on the length and complexity of the documents. I will confirm whether QES is suitable for your assignment, together with the price and schedule, before starting.
Does QES guarantee acceptance?
No. The receiving organisation decides which format it accepts for its process. Please check with it first; a QES does not guarantee acceptance by every authority or for every purpose. Then use the quotation form and tell me you need a QES-signed version.
