Hi there,

I have a client from Ukraine asking me to do a certified translation from a website.
Does any certified translator for German have experience, wether this is common or allowed to do in Germany, I mean to certify a translation from a website?
(It is a site from his personal account of the official webpage for tax payments, which he needs to present to German authorities.) I do certified translations, not so often though, because I found a different calling. So... See more
Hi there,

(It is a site from his personal account of the official webpage for tax payments, which he needs to present to German authorities.) I do certified translations, not so often though, because I found a different calling. So I might be a bit not up to date, well at least I have not yet been asked to do a certified website translation....

Thanks a lot for the answers!

It is c common practice in UKraine, that authorities e.g. courts do accept so-called 'notary-certified screenshots' ('Нотаріально завірений скріншот'). I have used it in Ukraine (I am qualified as an advocate in Ukraine). I can do such certification using my UK Translator/Interpreter stamp. Plz PM me for further info.

Nowadays, most official documents are issued through websites (birth certificates, marriage certificates, death certificates, criminal records…).
