Why do you need a certified translation of an acknowledgment of paternity?

Paternity acknowledgement is necessary if the parents are not married at the time of birth. Since paternity is associated with important claims and obligations, it is important from a legal perspective. You will need a certified translation of an acknowledgement of paternity, for example:

• if the parents live in different countries
• if you move abroad during the period of birth

What is an acknowledgment of paternity?

In the acknowledgement of paternity, the man declares that he is the father of a child. In Germany, this declaration is made at the youth welfare office or registry office. The mother must also consent to a successful acknowledgement of paternity. With regard to custody, there are custody decrees and declarations which we can also translate in the certified/offical form for legal recognition.

Certified translation of your acknowledgment of paternity

A certified translation of your acknowledgment of paternity is a careful and accurate translation of the language of your document into the desired target language (e.g. German) by a translator sworn in at a German court. The latter confirms the accuracy and completeness of the translation in relation to the original document by means of his or her stamp and attestation mark. A copy of the original document is usually also attached to the certified translation. For the translation we only need a copy (scan or photo) of your document.
