Certification, apostille & responsible authorities
Which authority in Bremen is responsible for what?
Which body is responsible for certification, apostille and recognition depends on the type of document. FÜD provides the recognition-ready translation – the apostille is always issued by the competent authority of the State of Bremen, not by FÜD.
| Matter | Responsible authority for Bremen | What FÜD handles / what to watch for |
|---|---|---|
| Certified translation | Fachübersetzungsdienst Bremen Court-authorised translator (accepted nationwide) | We produce the certified translation with a certification note – accepted throughout Germany on the basis of the certification note. |
| Apostille for civil-status & administrative documents | Senator for the Interior and Sport, Bremen (Contrescarpe 22–24, 28203 Bremen) | Applies e.g. to birth, marriage and registration certificates. We tell you whether an apostille is required and translate the note along with it. FÜD does not issue apostilles. |
| Apostille for court & notarial documents | President of the Regional Court (Landgericht) of Bremen (Domsheide 16, 28195 Bremen) | Applies e.g. to contracts, judgments, notarial certifications and commercial-register extracts. Translation incl. apostille note. FÜD does not issue apostilles. |
| Civil-status certificates (birth, marriage, death) | Registry office Bremen (Stadtamt Bremen) Hollerallee 26, 28209 Bremen | We translate the certificate as a certified translation; the international (multilingual) certificate is available directly from the registry office. |
| Recognition of foreign school certificates | Competent authority of the State of Bremen (school qualifications: Senator for Children and Education); university degrees: certificate evaluation by the ZAB (KMK) | Certified translation for the recognition procedure; equivalence is decided by the competent authority. |
| Recognition of foreign professional qualifications | Bremen Chamber of Commerce or Chamber of Skilled Crafts (depending on the profession) | 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 | Migration Office / Immigration Authority of the City of Bremen Hollerallee 26, 28209 Bremen | Certified translation of the required documents – confirm the language direction and purpose in advance. |
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 – so the certified translation remains fully usable in the destination country.
Unsure whether and where you need an apostille? We review your case and tell you the responsible authority – issuing it stays with that authority. Source: landgericht.bremen.de / service.bremen.de, as at 08/2026.

On the ground
Bremen and our translators.
As a home of aerospace, automotive manufacturing and two major ports, Bremen has translation needs that are both technically demanding and trade-driven – from specifications and operating manuals through customs and freight papers to certified documents. Foreign trade brings a broad range of languages.
As a centre of science with the University of Bremen and the technology park, academic demand is added: studies, journal articles and publications. For every task we deploy a specialist in the relevant field – not the nearest generalist.
