Languages
We translate in both directions; every job goes to a native-speaker professional translator who gets the regional variant right – for public authorities, a sworn translator produces the certified version. The strongest demand in Baden-Baden is for English, French, Russian, Arabic, Italian and Spanish.
Certification, apostille & responsible authorities
Baden-Baden is in Baden-Württemberg, in the Karlsruhe administrative district (Regierungsbezirk Karlsruhe). 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.
| Matter | Responsible authority for Baden-Baden | What FÜD handles / what to watch for |
|---|---|---|
| Certified translation | Fachübersetzungsdienst Baden-Baden Court-authorised translator (accepted nationwide) | We produce the certified translation with a certification note – accepted throughout Germany. |
| Apostille for civil-status & administrative documents | Karlsruhe Regional Council (Regierungspräsidium Karlsruhe) (for documents issued in the Karlsruhe administrative district) Schlossplatz 1-3, 76131 Karlsruhe | We tell you whether an apostille is required and translate the apostille note along with it. FÜD does not issue apostilles. |
| Apostille for court & notarial documents | President of the Baden-Baden Regional Court (Landgericht Baden-Baden) Gutenbergstraße 17, 76532 Baden-Baden | Applies e.g. to commercial-register extracts, notarial deeds and court decisions. Translation includes the note. |
| Civil-status certificates (birth, marriage, death) | Baden-Baden registry office (Standesamt) Augustaplatz 1, 76530 Baden-Baden | We translate the certificate as a certified translation; the international (multilingual) certificate is available directly from the registry office. |
| Recognition of foreign school certificates | Stuttgart Regional Council (certificate-recognition office, Baden-Württemberg) | Certified translation for the recognition procedure; equivalence is decided by the authority. |
| Recognition of foreign professional qualifications | Competent chamber / recognition body (e.g. Karlsruhe Chamber of Industry and Commerce, Karlsruhe Chamber of Crafts or the Regional Council) | We provide the formally correct translation of your diploma, transcript and professional certificate. |
| Police clearance certificate for use abroad | Federal Office of Justice (BfJ), Bonn Adenauerallee 99-103, 53113 Bonn | Certified translation of the police clearance certificate, incl. any apostille note. |
| Residence, naturalisation, vehicle registration, immigration office | Citizens' services / immigration office of the City of Baden-Baden Briegelackerstraße 21, 76532 Baden-Baden | Certified translation of the required evidence – confirm the language direction and purpose in advance. |
If the receiving body requires an apostille, it belongs before the translation: it is affixed to the original document first, and we then translate the document including the apostille note.
Not sure whether and where you need an apostille? We review your case and name the responsible authority for you – issuing it stays with the authority, not with FÜD.
Our translation service handles urgent jobs on an express basis – after a brief feasibility check we confirm a binding deadline and fixed price. For the most requested combinations we briefly confirm the delivery date in advance, so the right specialist is available:
