The employment record book (Трудова книжка) is a Soviet/Ukrainian-era document that records the complete work history. In Germany, a certified translation is needed for pension recognition (Rentenversicherung), professional qualification recognition (Anerkennungsverfahren), and Jobcenter applications. We provide certified translations of employment record books from Ukrainian to German — with accurate reproduction of all entries.

When do you need an employment record book translation?

Anerkennung for a profession

To have a profession recognized (Pflegekraft, engineer, electrician, etc.) a translation of the employment record book is needed as proof of relevant work experience gained in Ukraine.

Pension (Rentenversicherung)

The Deutsche Rentenversicherung takes Ukrainian employment periods into account when calculating the pension — this requires a certified translation of the entire employment record book.

Job application

German employers often ask for a translation of the employment record book during qualified job applications as a substitute for references when obtaining them from previous Ukrainian employers is difficult.
