Certification, apostille & responsible authorities
Which authority in Ahlen is responsible for what?
Ahlen lies in North Rhine-Westphalia, in the Warendorf district, within the Münster administrative region (Regierungsbezirk Münster). Who is responsible for certification and apostille depends on the type of document. FÜD provides the recognition-ready translation – the apostille is always issued by the competent authority, not by FÜD.

Ahlen & Münsterland
Our translators for Ahlen and the Münsterland.
Ahlen, with around 55,000 inhabitants, is the largest town in the Warendorf district and lies in the southern Münsterland on the river Werse, some 30 km south-east of Münster. The town is shaped by a metalworking and furniture-making SME sector with internationally active companies – from sanitary and forming technology to office-furniture manufacturing. That creates a steady need for technical, contractual and certified translations.
