Free, no-obligation request. Nothing is booked or charged until you confirm.

  • Berlin notary appointments
  • Professional interpreters only
  • Credentials checked
  • Price confirmed before booking

How it works

This is a request, not an instant booking. We coordinate every request by hand so the details are right.

  1. Send your appointment details

    Date, notary, language and type of appointment. It takes about two minutes.

  2. We check a suitable interpreter

    We look for a verified professional interpreter for your language and appointment, and ask what they need to prepare.

  3. Receive availability and price

    You get the interpreter's availability, the final price and the cancellation terms. If we can't find anyone suitable, we tell you honestly.

  4. Confirm and pay

    Only once you accept and pay is the interpreter confirmed. We can share their details for the notary office if needed.

Notary appointments we can help with

Notary appointments in Germany are usually held in German. If you don't understand German well enough, the deed has to be translated for you during the appointment.

  • Property purchase (Immobilienkauf)

    Buying or selling a flat or house. The purchase contract is usually long and needs careful preparation.

  • Land charge (Grundschuld)

    Often signed as part of a mortgage, usually shortly after the purchase contract.

  • Company formation (GmbH / UG)

    Founding a company, changing shareholders or managing directors.

  • Power of attorney (Vollmacht)

    General, property or healthcare powers of attorney that need notarisation.

  • Marriage contract (Ehevertrag)

    Prenuptial and postnuptial agreements.

  • Inheritance and other matters

    Inheritance contracts, certificates of inheritance or other notarised documents.

Professional interpreters, checked before we suggest them

Interpreting at a notary is professional work. That's why these requests are handled separately from SettlyGo's everyday helpers.

  • A separate, verified group

    We only work with professional interpreters for these requests. Ordinary SettlyGo helpers are not assigned to notary appointments.

  • Credentials checked for each request

    We check the interpreter's professional qualification and status, such as whether they are publicly sworn, before we present them to you.

  • Details shared when you need them

    Once you confirm, we can share the interpreter's name and qualification, for example if the notary office asks for them in advance.

What we need from you

The more we know, the faster we can confirm an interpreter.

  • Date and time of the appointment, if already set
  • The language you need
  • The notary's name or office
  • The type of appointment
  • The draft contract or documents, if you already have them

Why documents matter

Interpreters usually want to read the draft deed before the appointment. A long property contract can take hours to prepare, so the documents affect both the price and who is available. You don't need to upload anything now: if documents are needed, we'll tell you how to share them after reviewing your request.

Pricing: confirmed before you book

There is no single price for notary interpreting. Instead of showing a number that may not fit your appointment, we confirm a final price for your request. It usually depends on:

  • Type of appointment and length of the document
  • Preparation time needed
  • Expected length of the appointment
  • Language
  • How much notice there is
  • Travel and waiting time, where applicable

You'll always see the final price and cancellation terms before you confirm the interpreter.

Interpreters usually ask for payment before the appointment, and late cancellations can be charged. We explain the exact terms with your quote.

Language support, not legal advice

The interpreter

  • Interprets what the notary reads and says
  • Interprets your questions to the notary
  • Helps you understand the conversation in your language

The interpreter and SettlyGo don't

  • Give legal or tax advice
  • Tell you whether to sign
  • Find or book the notary for you
  • Guarantee the notary will accept a specific interpreter

The interpreter provides language support only. The notary is responsible for the deed and for explaining its legal content. Requirements vary by notary and appointment, so it's a good idea to confirm with the notary office that they accept the interpreter.

Request an interpreter

Takes about two minutes. We'll reply by email, usually within one working day.

Frequently asked questions

Straight answers about interpreters for notary appointments in Berlin.

It depends on the notary. If you don't understand German well enough, the deed has to be translated for you. The law allows the notary to translate personally or to involve an interpreter, and an interpreter who is not generally sworn can be sworn in by the notary unless everyone waives this. In practice, many Berlin notaries ask for a publicly sworn (beeidigt) interpreter. The safest step is to ask the notary office what they require and tell us in the form.
Usually not. People with a personal interest in the deed, such as relatives or parties to the contract, are generally excluded from interpreting it. The notary decides who can act as interpreter.
It depends on the type of appointment, the length of the document, preparation, language, notice and travel. We don't show a general price because it would rarely match your appointment. You'll receive the final price before you confirm anything.
Notarial deeds use precise legal language. Interpreters prepare by reading the draft in advance, which makes the appointment smoother and more accurate. The length of the document also affects preparation time and price.
As early as possible. For a property purchase, about a week or more is a good guideline, because the interpreter needs time to prepare the contract. Shorter notice can work, but availability is more limited.
No. You arrange the notary appointment yourself. We help you find a professional interpreter for it and can share the interpreter's details for the notary office once you confirm.
The notary decides whether an interpreter is suitable for the appointment. Some offices want the interpreter's details in advance. If yours does, tell us and we'll provide the details once the interpreter is confirmed.
During this pilot, we suggest a suitable interpreter for your request rather than showing a list to choose from. If you have specific needs, add them in the form and we'll take them into account.
We work with professional interpreters for several languages, but availability depends on the language and date. We'll tell you honestly if we can't find a suitable interpreter for your request.
No. The interpreter translates what is said, accurately and neutrally. Legal questions about the contract are for the notary or your own lawyer.
Let us know as soon as possible. Rescheduling is often possible, but interpreters may charge for late cancellations, especially after preparing the documents. The exact terms are shared with your quote before you confirm.
