Translation Services
While official documents in English may be accepted by some Austrian authorities and institutions, such as universities, a certified German translation is frequently required. To obtain one, you must contact a translator from the List of Court Interpreters, compiled and maintained by the Austrian authorities.
You may also need to apply to the issuer of the document in your home country for a copy of the document with an attached apostille to verify the authenticity. For proof of academic degrees or professional competence, you will require additional verifications.

Translation Costs and Procedures
As all translation services are conducted by private companies and translators, prices will vary. Usually, a document will be translated directly from the source language into the target language – for example from Danish to German. In other cases, an indirect translation is necessary when no translator is certified in both source and target language. For instance, a document in Danish would first be translated into German and then into the target language e.g. Chinese.
