Certification, apostille & responsible authorities
Which authority in Chemnitz is responsible for what?
Chemnitz is in Saxony (the independent city of Chemnitz). 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 Chemnitz | What FÜD handles / what to watch for |
|---|---|---|
| Certified translation | Fachübersetzungsdienst Chemnitz Court-authorised translator (accepted nationwide) | We produce the certified translation with a certification note – accepted throughout Germany. |
| Apostille for civil-status & administrative documents | Landesdirektion Sachsen (Saxony Regional Directorate) (for documents issued in Saxony) Stauffenbergallee 2, 01099 Dresden | 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 Chemnitz Hohe Straße 23, 09112 Chemnitz | Applies e.g. to commercial-register extracts, notarial deeds and court decisions. Translation includes the note. |
| Civil-status certificates (birth, marriage, death) | Chemnitz registry office (Standesamt) Bahnhofstraße 53, 09111 Chemnitz | We translate the certificate as a certified translation; the international (multilingual) certificate is available directly from the registry office. |
| Recognition of foreign school certificates | Saxony State Office for Schools and Education (LaSuB) | Certified translation for the recognition procedure; equivalence is decided by the competent authority. |
| Recognition of foreign professional qualifications | Competent chamber (Chemnitz Chamber of Industry and Commerce, IHK) or recognition body | 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 | Citizens' Office / Immigration Office, City of Chemnitz Düsseldorfer Platz 1, 09111 Chemnitz | Certified translation of the required documents – confirm the language direction and purpose in advance. |
Order of 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 review your case and name the responsible authority – issuing it stays with the authority, not with FÜD.

Chemnitz & south-west Saxony
Chemnitz and our translators.
With around 250,000 inhabitants, Chemnitz is the third-largest city in Saxony and – once known as the "Saxon Manchester" – an industrial location steeped in tradition. Today automotive and engine building, machine tools and textile machinery and a broad supplier industry shape the economy, complemented by Chemnitz University of Technology. From this environment we translate above all technical documentation, standards, contracts and certificates for export.
Beyond Chemnitz we are active throughout south-west Saxony and further afield: clients in Zwickau, Plauen and Gera use the same digital route; the cities of Dresden and Leipzig are reached through the same order handling too.
