To find a job in Germany, you generally need the following documents: a professional CV, a cover letter, diplomas and certificates, a work permit or residence permit (if you are not an EU citizen), a valid ID or passport, and proof of language skills (German language skills are often of great importance). Depending on the industry, additional documents or references may be required.

For a residence permit application in Germany, the passport, birth certificate, marriage certificate (if applicable), employment contract, rental agreement, and health insurance documents usually need to be translated. These documents must be translated into German by sworn translators and submitted to the authorities to complete the application process successfully.
