What is the meaning and process of certificate translation and APS document verification in Germany/Singapore?

Certificate translation means converting your academic documents - like mark sheets and degree certificates - into the official language required by the university (usually English or German). These translations must be certified by an authorized translator to be accepted for admissions.

APS (Akademische Prüfstelle) document verification is a process used for German university applications. APS verifies the authenticity of your educational documents and confirms your eligibility for admission.

- For certificate translation: Use a certified translator authorized for the target language. The translation should be from original documents, and may require an official stamp or notarial certification, depending on the country.
- For APS verification: Register online, pay the processing fee, submit your original documents, and complete any required interview. After successful verification, you receive an APS certificate.

Both steps are essential for university admissions in Germany and may also apply to Singapore, depending on university requirements.
