Red Tape Translation’s service is simply amazing! They were really kind from the beginning and helped so much with my Auslandebehorde appointment. Thanks a lot for everything.

Red Tape translated my document with good quality within a short time, I needed it for my termin but I sent it late. However, they manage to finish the work and it helped me a lot for my termin. I recommend red tape to you guys.

I called Kathleen the evening before I needed a translator
the next morning at 8am at the jobcentre and she was able to arrange for somebody to come. Great profession al service and reasonably priced; I recommend them!

Red Tape translated
two UK birth certificat es and our UK marriage certificat e in record time! I wasn’t in a rush, but the turnaround was very quick, communicat ion with the team excellent and the certified copies very good value for money. I’d wholeheart edly recommend them, and will definitely contact them again should we need more help with any German bureaucrac y.

We needed a translator for a wedding and after contacting 30 plus translators and getting no replies, it was nice to get a quick response. Their costs were very reasonably and they provided an experienced translator, I would happily recommend them.

When you’re drowning in German bureaucracy (which I was about to), Kathleen is really a breath of fresh air…. She is very flexible when setting appointments, knows a lot about the system, is reliable and extremely prompt in answering whatever questions one might have. On a personal note, she’s friendly and easy going – quite important qualities when you’re slightly panicking because you have no idea what people around you are talking about…
Not only is Kathleen great, she has great little helpers too!! I needed someone to translate for me on very short notice, and even though Kathleen was unable to come herself, she found someone else!
Very highly recommended!

We had to use Kathleen’s services at the JobCenter and she was wonderful. We were very nervous going in with a complex issue and she was great, asking all the questions we had, and explaining everything to us with such patience and clarity.

If you are looking for peace of mind, insider knowledge and are serious about your arrival to Germany then Red Tape is your partner. I worked with Kathleen and found the experience informative, reassuring, worth the competitive investment and have a freelance visa to prove it. Don’t get trapped by others who are looking to make a quick buck, Kathleen and her team are the real deal. Good luck and welcome to Germany!

I had a great experience using Kathleen’s translation services. She is so nice and helpful. She went with me to the Auländerbehörde for a residence permit. She is very knowledgeable and was able to help me with my questions. She communicated well between me and the Auländerbehörde employee. She is very reliable and responsive to emails. I would highly recommend Kathleen for all translation needs. I would definitely call on her if I need translation services again.

I had a great experience with their service.
Professional, on time, and friendly.
Saved me at the last minute, when I almost had to postpone me visa request meeting in a month.
Highly recommended!

I used Kathleen’s services last week – she came with me to the Ausländerbehörde and I’m so glad that I had her there. Not only did it make communicating with the staff much easier, but she knows all the processes and procedures backwards and was able to reassure me that what was going on was normal. I have a shiny new freelancer visa now and if another situation arises where I’m not confident in my ability to negotiate the red tape in Deutsch, I will not hesitate to call on Kathleen again.

I recently used Kathleen’s services and was very pleased with all aspects of service, which were both professional and friendly. Kathleen is knowledgeable, personable and reliable. Translating and interpreting is more than just an exchange of words and phrases to those in another language, it is also about knowing the cultures involved and how situations, ideas and needs may be explained in the most beneficial way for the client, and I strongly felt this during our appointment.
Pricing for services is very competitive and well-worth whatever options you choose, compared to other similar places. What I particularly noted, as I also use other ex-pat and German services and individuals for a variety of needs, Kathleen knew some of these and had worked in conjunction with them in a mutually beneficial way regarding references and clients.
Absolutely on my list of recommendations (I’ve already done so in the week since my appointment), and I look forward to working with Kathleen in the future.
