Certification, apostille & responsible authorities
Cuxhaven lies within the State of Lower Saxony. The regional government offices (Bezirksregierungen) were abolished here in 2005 – so the apostille is not issued by the city administration, but, depending on the type of document, by one of two authorities. FÜD provides the recognition-ready translation – the apostille is always issued by the competent authority, not by FÜD.
| Matter | Responsible authority for Cuxhaven | What FÜD handles / what to watch for |
|---|---|---|
| Certified translation | Fachübersetzungsdienst Cuxhaven 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 | Polizeidirektion Oldenburg (in Lower Saxony the police issue the apostille on administrative documents) Theodor-Tantzen-Platz 8, 26122 Oldenburg | 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 Stade Wilhadikirchhof 1, 21682 Stade | Applies e.g. to commercial-register extracts, notarial certifications and court decisions. Translation incl. apostille note. |
| Civil-status certificates (birth, marriage, death) | Registry office Cuxhaven Rathausplatz 1, 27472 Cuxhaven | We translate the certificate as a certified translation; the international (multilingual) certificate is available directly from the registry office. |
| Recognition of foreign school certificates | Regional State Education Authority (RLSB) – certificate recognition office for Lower Saxony (based in Lüneburg) | Certified translation for the recognition procedure; equivalence is decided by the competent authority. |
| Recognition of foreign professional qualifications | Competent chamber (Chamber of Commerce / Chamber of Skilled Crafts) 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, vehicle registration, immigration office | Citizens' Services / Immigration Authority or Vehicle Registration Office of the City of Cuxhaven Rathausplatz 1, 27472 Cuxhaven | Certified translation of the required documents – 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.
Unlike in many German states, in Lower Saxony the apostille for civil-status and administrative documents is issued by the Polizeidirektion Oldenburg – responsible via the Polizeiinspektion Cuxhaven/Wesermarsch (Department 22, Theodor-Tantzen-Platz 8, 26122 Oldenburg); for court and notarial documents it is the President of the Regional Court (Landgericht) of Stade. Unsure which authority you need? We review your case – 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 agree the delivery date with you beforehand so the right specialist is available:
Cuxhaven & the Elbe-Weser region
Cuxhaven lies at the northernmost tip of Lower Saxony, where the Elbe flows into the North Sea. The seaport and offshore base port have made the city one of the most important locations for Germany's offshore wind industry; the fishing industry and North Sea health resort round out its profile. Port, wind energy and the maritime economy generate international demand for translation, above all German ⇄ English.
Beyond Cuxhaven we are active across the whole Elbe-Weser triangle: clients from Bremerhaven, Bremen and Wilhelmshaven use the same digital route; Oldenburg is also reached through the same order process.
