Certification, apostille & responsible authorities

Which authority in Cuxhaven is responsible for what?

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.

Order of steps & Lower Saxony's special rule

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.

Cuxhaven & the Elbe-Weser region

Cuxhaven and our translators.

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.
