German-Georgian Translation Services in Tbilisi - For Germany, Austria and Switzerland

German and Georgian: the pair behind the largest migration flow to the EU

Since Germany's Skilled Immigration Act opened routes for nurses, craftsmen, IT specialists and apprentices, and since the seasonal work agreement between Georgia and Germany began, German has become the fastest-growing language pair at our office. A Georgian nurse applying for Anerkennung and a visa, a student applying to a German university through uni-assist, a family applying for Familiennachzug, a seasonal worker with a contract from a Bavarian farm, a German engineer registering a company at the House of Justice, an Austrian retiree buying an apartment in Batumi: each needs documents translated in a specific form. In Germany that form is the beglaubigte Übersetzung by a publicly appointed and sworn translator; in Georgia it is the notarized translation. Connecting the two correctly is what we do daily from David Agmashenebeli Ave 117.

Our German team combines Georgian sworn translators with German university training and native German editors, and it keeps current with the German Embassy in Tbilisi's requirements, which have changed several times as visa categories have expanded.

Ordering from Tbilisi, from Germany or from anywhere in Georgia

Clients in Tbilisi send a photo on WhatsApp for a quote within 15 minutes and bring the original to Agmashenebeli 117, near Marjanishvili Metro, where the translation is notarized while they wait. Passports and driving licenses are the exception: translated from the photo alone and delivered by courier, without a visit. Clients in Berlin, Munich, Vienna or Zurich who need a Georgian document usually have the original with family in Georgia; we collect it, translate, notarize, apostille and ship by DHL with tracking. Clients in Batumi, Kutaisi and the regions send originals by courier and receive the finished documents back while our regional offices are being renovated. Enquiries are answered in German.

A word on the seasonal worker and nursing recruitment programs, which now account for a large share of our German work: recruiting agencies and German employers often send us the full checklist for a group of candidates, and we process the group as one project with a shared glossary, consistent formatting and a single invoice, which keeps the cost per candidate low and the embassy files uniform.
