What our reviewers know about your documents
German civil records are issued by the Standesamt (civil registry office) and may take the form of certificates (Urkunden) or full registry extracts (beglaubigte Abschriften aus dem Register); the full extract preserves historical changes essential for USCIS status verification. Austrian and Swiss documents follow similar but jurisdiction-specific formats with their own vocabulary for academic and notarial materials. German uses Eszett (ß) and umlauts (ä, ö, ü); names retain their original spelling on the certified translation, with USCIS-form alternatives noted where required. Dates use the day-month-year order.
Common source countries: Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Belgium.
