Certification, apostille & responsible authorities
Which authority in Bonn is responsible for what?
Bonn is in North Rhine-Westphalia, Cologne administrative district. 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 Bonn | What FÜD handles / what to watch for |
|---|---|---|
| Certified translation | Fachübersetzungsdienst Bonn Court-authorised translator (accepted nationwide) | We produce the certified translation with a certification note – accepted throughout Germany, regardless of the court of authorisation. |
| Apostille for civil-status & administrative documents | Cologne District Government (Division 21) Zeughausstraße 8, 50667 Cologne | 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 Regional Court (Landgericht) of Bonn Wilhelmstraße 21, 53111 Bonn | Applies e.g. to commercial-register extracts, notarial deeds and court decisions. Translation includes the note. |
| Civil-status certificates (birth, marriage, death) | Registry office Bonn Berliner Platz 2, 53111 Bonn | We translate the certificate as a certified translation; the international (multilingual) certificate is available directly from the registry office. |
| Recognition of foreign school certificates | Düsseldorf District Government – NRW certificate-recognition office | Certified translation for the recognition procedure; equivalence is decided by the competent authority. |
| Recognition of foreign professional & university qualifications | Authority responsible for the profession (e.g. district government, chamber, university) | 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, immigration office | Immigration Authority / Naturalisation Office of the City of Bonn Oxfordstraße 19, 53111 Bonn | Certified translation of the required documents – confirm the language direction and purpose in advance. |
Order & addresses
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 – so the certified translation remains fully usable in the destination country. Issuing it stays with the authority, not with FÜD.

On the ground
Bonn and our translators.
As the home of Deutsche Telekom, numerous federal authorities and Germany's UN campus, Bonn has a distinctly multilingual, certification-heavy translation need – from technical and reporting documents through international reports to certificates for recognition procedures.
As a centre of science and consumer goods with the University of Bonn and international communities, broad academic and administrative demand is added. For every task we deploy a specialist in the relevant field – not the nearest generalist.

Becoming a translator in Bonn?
