Registered Translator - Germany

[David54321 18]

Hi,

I have a question for those of you who apply for an immigrant visa in Germany. On the Frankfurt Embassy website, it says that "All documents not in English or German must be accompanied by an English translation. Translations must be certified by a competent and registered translator";

My issue is the following, for the USCIS stage I used a US-based online company (www.vananservices.com) that provided me with certified translations and everything was accepted. But the embassy in Frankfurt adds "REGISTERED" translator which makes me wonder if they want a translation from a registered translator here in Germany.

I talked with a Vananservice representative that kept repeating that they are "USCIS" approved but went silent about being a "Registered translator".

Does anyone here have experience with the consulate in Frankfurt and its translation requirements?

Thank you in advance.

I don't know the correct answer either but I chose to use a registered translator because I don't want to risk a refusal only to save a few bugs. What I've learnt here is that the NVC is quite picky.

If you are fluent in english you can translate your own documents, all you need is attach a letter saying you are fluent in both languages
