The Czech language is spoken by over 13 million people, of whom over 10 million live in the Czech Republic itself. Czech is the sole official language there, even though Slovak documents do not usually require translation. Native speakers also live in neighboring countries such as Slovakia, Poland, Hungary and Austria, but also in the Balkans. The Czech diaspora is not particularly large, but especially in the United States of America there are numerous speakers of Czech, often, however, only as a second language.
Generally, Czech is the most similar to Slovak of all Slavic languages, which is also due to the 74 years of joint statehood in the form of Czechoslovakia. But there are also many similarities with Polish and Ukrainian. In general, the Czech and Slovak languages are mutually intelligible and, for example, Czech television programs are broadcast without translation in Slovakia. Also, documents in the respective national language are usually mutually recognized without the need for translation.
Czech dialects are divided into three major groups: Bohemian in the west, Moravian in the southeast, and Silesian in the northeast of the country. However, dialects are becoming less and less important, as Stadard Czech is becoming more and more prevalent, especially through the media. There are also stark differences between written Czech and the colloquial language; this is referred to as diglossia.
We offer the following services for Czech:

A Statement of Comparability is an official document issued by the Central Office for Foreign Education (Zentralstelle für ausländisches Bildungswesen – ZAB). It assesses international higher education qualifications and ascertains the professional and academic legitimacy of candidates. This is intended to facilitate access to the German labor market and enable students to continue their studies in Germany. It is a comparative classification, but not a recognition.
For further details on the process of recognizing equivalency and the evaluation of your diplomas, please visit the official website of the Central Office for Foreign Education (Zentralstelle für ausländisches Bildungswesen) of the Standing Conference of the Ministers of Education and Cultural Affairs of the Länder in the Federal Republic of Germany (Kultusministerkonferenz – KMK).
You can check the evaluation of your certificates and degrees in advance in the Anabin database.
You can also check the value of your foreign university qualification and research further information.
Information about degrees with university admission can also be found at Anabin. You can check under which conditions you can take up an undergraduate course of study in Germany with a foreign secondary qualification.
Depending on the federal state, other recognition and advisory offices are responsible for recognizing the equivalence of your degrees, certificates or diplomas from the Czech Republic. On Anabin you can find information not only about relevant authorities, but also about advisory bodies without direct recognition competence. They can provide you with information on numerous issues relating to recognition in Germany.
An apostille is an additional confirmation of authenticity of a foreign document. The Hague Convention Abolishing the Requirement of Legalization for Foreign Public Documents (Apostille Convention) is in effect between Germany and the Czech Republic. Here, an apostille confirms the authenticity of the signature and, if applicable, the seal of the signatory, as well as their authority to issue the document.
The authorities of the country in which the document was issued are responsible for issuing them, i.e. German authorities for German documents and Czech authorities for Czech documents. An apostille consists of a fixed text and is affixed to the document itself or to a sheet attached to it. The Hague Convention does not apply to documents issued by diplomatic or consular representatives, nor to documents relating directly to commercial transactions or customs procedures.
For more information about the apostille and obtaining documents in the Czech Republic and in Germany, contact the German Embassy in Prague.
By default, the certification is carried out by a translator who is sworn in by a court in Germany. Please note that we offer certified translations only from German or into German.
