Certification, apostille & responsible authorities
Which authority in Brandenburg is responsible for what?
Brandenburg an der Havel is in the State of Brandenburg. 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 Brandenburg | What FÜD handles / what to watch for |
|---|---|---|
| Certified translation | Fachübersetzungsdienst Brandenburg Court-authorised translator (accepted nationwide) | We produce the certified translation with a certification note – accepted throughout Germany. |
| Apostille for court & notarial documents | President of the Regional Court (Landgericht) of Potsdam (responsible for the district of the Local Court of Brandenburg an der Havel) Jägerallee 10–12, 14469 Potsdam | Applies e.g. to commercial-register extracts, notarial deeds and court decisions. Translation includes the apostille note. FÜD does not issue apostilles. |
| Apostille for civil-status & administrative documents | Ministry of the Interior and for Local Government of the State of Brandenburg (Potsdam) Henning-von-Tresckow-Straße 9–13, 14467 Potsdam | We tell you whether an apostille is required and translate the note along with it. Issuing it stays with the authority. |
| Civil-status certificates (birth, marriage, death) | Registry office (Standesamt) Brandenburg an der Havel Katharinenkirchplatz 5, 14776 Brandenburg an der Havel | We translate the certificate as a certified translation; the international (multilingual) certificate is available directly from the registry office. |

| Recognition of foreign professional qualifications | Competent chamber (IHK / Chamber of Skilled Crafts) or the state recognition office | 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. |

Order of steps for the apostille
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 check your case and name the competent authority – issuing it stays with the authority. Source: mdjd.brandenburg.de (Ministry of Justice), as at 08/2026.

Brandenburg & the Havelland
Brandenburg an der Havel and our translators.
Brandenburg an der Havel gave its name to the medieval bishopric, the margraviate and today's State of Brandenburg, and is considered the historical core of Brandenburg and Prussia. In the late 19th century the city became an important industrial centre: the steel industry settled here, and world-famous bicycle brands such as Brennabor and Excelsior were manufactured here. Today Brandenburg an der Havel is a major regional centre with a steel mill, rail-vehicle and machine engineering – a location with technically demanding translation needs between the Havel, the Beetzsee and the surrounding lakes.
Beyond Brandenburg an der Havel we are active throughout the State of Brandenburg: clients from Potsdam, Berlin and Cottbus use the same digital route; the neighbouring Saxony-Anhalt area around Magdeburg is reached through the same order process.
