Certified translation of vehicle documents from German is one of the most frequently ordered services when registering a car imported from Germany. We most often translate Zulassungsbescheinigung Teil I and II, Fahrzeugschein, Kaufvertrag, invoices and additional documents needed to file the full set at the office.

Which German documents should you send for a single quote?

It is best to send the entire set at once: registration certificate, purchase contract, invoice, deregistration document and all attachments you received from the seller. When registering a car, the office often assesses the full set of documents, not just one card.

This is particularly important for cars bought from a company or through an intermediary, where the documents contain more stamps, annotations and identifying data.

How much does translating vehicle documents from German cost?

According to the current 2026 price list, the registration certificate alone from German usually costs 65–75 PLN. A set of 2 documents is often around 130 PLN, and a set of 3 documents around 150 PLN. Unusual attachments and larger packages are quoted after we review the scans.

How long does it take?

We often deliver vehicle documents from German in 1 business day, and in urgent cases sometimes the same day. The fastest path is a quote based on a scan of the entire set.

What to watch out for with German documents?

German documents often contain official abbreviations, deregistration annotations and technical data that must be correctly tied to the vehicle. For a quote it is worth sending photos of all pages, including those with seemingly minor notes.
