Navigating through German bureaucracy when your language skills aren’t up to the task can be intimidating and stressful.
Red Tape Translation can eliminate that stress.
I’ve helped hundreds of people navigate the system and I know what needs to get done. Not only can I accompany you to appointments and make phone calls on your behalf, I can also guide you through bureaucratic processes, making sure you don’t miss any steps along the way. Whether you're just getting settled in Germany, setting yourself up as a freelancer, getting married or facing another bureaucratic challenge, I’ve done it all and I can help you through it.

For less than the price of a couple of drinks at my favourite club, she managed to do what I would have found incredibly difficult. I'd say that's money well spent.
