Certified Bank Statement Translation, German to English
A certified German to English translation of a bank statement costs $24.95 per page, where one page is up to 250 words of the source document. A typical bank statement runs 1 to 8 pages, so most orders come to $24.95 to $199.60. Certified orders are delivered in 2 to 3 business days as a PDF containing the complete translation and a signed Certificate of Translation Accuracy from the qualified professional translator who completed or reviewed the work, prepared for official use including USCIS filings.
Pricing
Exact prices, shown before you pay
One monthly statement usually bills as 1 to 3 pages of 250 words; multi-month sets for I-864 or source-of-funds evidence grow quickly because every transaction line counts. Certified translation is $24.95 per page, so a typical order of 1 to 8 pages comes to $24.95 to $199.60. The exact total is measured from your real document and shown before payment.

Requirements
What reviewers require for a certified bank statement translation
- USCIS requires a full English language translation of any foreign-language document, certified by the translator as complete and accurate, with a certification of competence to translate (8 CFR 103.2(b)(3)); this applies to bank statements the same as to civil documents.
- A complete translation covers every transaction row, column header, running balance, footnote, and marginal note; a summary or excerpt does not satisfy the full-translation rule.
- Amounts and currency symbols are reproduced exactly as printed with no currency conversion; for Form I-864 the sponsor states US dollar equivalents on the form itself, not inside the translation.
- All pages of a statement must be present and translated; a statement marked page 1 of 5 that arrives as one page reads as incomplete evidence.
- Bank seals, stamps, and officer signatures are identified in bracketed descriptions and any text inside them is translated.
- Account numbers, dates, and figures are preserved exactly; nothing is redacted or omitted by the translator, because the certification attests to a complete rendering of the source.
- The account holder's name is spelled consistently with the Latin spelling in the applicant's passport so financial evidence links cleanly to the identity documents in the same filing.
Common reasons translations get rejected
- Translating only the summary or balance page and skipping the transaction table is a partial translation, which does not meet the full-translation requirement and commonly draws an RFE for incomplete evidence.
- Missing pages of a multi-page statement make the evidence incomplete even when the translated pages are perfect.
- Converting or rounding amounts inside the translation changes the source content and undermines the translator's accuracy certification; conversions belong on the form or in a separate note, not in the certified rendering.
- Machine translations or translations without a signed certification statement fail the 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3) certification requirement.
- Statements that do not cover the period the receiver asked for, such as the 12-month history described in the I-864 instructions for asset evidence, invite follow-up requests regardless of translation quality.
Good to know
About German-language bank statements
The bank statement is the Kontoauszug. German-language statements use DD.MM.YYYY dates and decimal-comma amounts (1.234,56 EUR), and recurring entries use terms such as Gutschrift (credit), Lastschrift (direct debit), Dauerauftrag (standing order), and SEPA-Überweisung (SEPA transfer). The translator renders dates and amounts unambiguously for US readers and applies one consistent number convention throughout. Payroll statements (Gehaltsabrechnung or Lohnabrechnung) frequently accompany bank statements as financial evidence in immigration filings.
Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, and Belgium are all contracting parties to the Hague Apostille Convention of 5 October 1961 (entry into force: Germany 1966, Austria 1968, Liechtenstein 1972, Switzerland 1973, Belgium 1976, Luxembourg 1979), so public documents from these countries destined for US use are authenticated by apostille rather than consular legalization.
USCIS regulation 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3) requires that any document containing foreign language submitted to USCIS be accompanied by a full English language translation which the translator has certified as complete and accurate, together with the translator's certification that he or she is competent to translate from the foreign language into English.

Questions
Common questions
- How many pages will my bank statement count as?
- Pricing is per 250 source words, so a transaction-dense physical page can count as more than one billed page. A typical monthly statement runs 1 to 3 billed pages at 24.95 USD per certified page.
- How many months of statements does USCIS want?
- It depends on the filing. For I-864 asset evidence, the USCIS instructions describe bank statements covering the last 12 months or a bank officer letter with a 12-month deposit and withdrawal history. Other filings, and schools issuing an I-20, often ask for shorter periods, so follow the checklist you were given.
- Can you work from an e-statement PDF or a screenshot from my banking app?
- A certified translation can be produced from any legible copy, and illegible portions are marked as illegible rather than guessed. Whether a screenshot is acceptable as the underlying evidence is decided by the receiving agency, so a full PDF or paper statement from the bank is the safer source.
- Can you leave out or mask my account number?
- No. The signed Certificate of Translation Accuracy attests to a complete rendering, so the translator cannot omit or mask anything. If the receiving agency permits redactions, redact the source document yourself before ordering, and the translation will mirror the redacted source.
- My bank statement was issued in Germany. What should I know before ordering?
- The bank statement is the Kontoauszug. German-language statements use DD.MM.YYYY dates and decimal-comma amounts (1.234,56 EUR), and recurring entries use terms such as Gutschrift (credit), Lastschrift (direct debit), Dauerauftrag (standing order), and SEPA-Überweisung (SEPA transfer). The translator renders dates and amounts unambiguously for US readers and applies one consistent number convention throughout. Payroll statements (Gehaltsabrechnung or Lohnabrechnung) frequently accompany bank statements as financial evidence in immigration filings.
