Certification, apostille & responsible authorities
Which authority in Darmstadt is responsible for what?
Darmstadt is in Hesse, in the Darmstadt administrative region. Who is responsible for certification and apostille depends on the type of document. FÜD provides the recognition-ready translation by sworn translators – the apostille is always issued by the competent authority, not by FÜD.
| Matter | Responsible authority for Darmstadt | What FÜD handles / what to watch for |
|---|---|---|
| Certified translation | Fachübersetzungsdienst Darmstadt Court-authorised translator (accepted nationwide) | We produce the certified translation with a certification note – accepted throughout Germany, regardless of the court of authorisation. |
| Apostille for civil-status & administrative documents | Regional Council of Darmstadt (Regierungspräsidium Darmstadt) – legalisation office for all of Hesse Luisenplatz 2, 64283 Darmstadt | 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 Darmstadt Regional Court (Landgericht) Mathildenplatz 15, 64283 Darmstadt | Applies e.g. to commercial-register extracts, notarial deeds and court decisions. Translation includes the note. |
| Civil-status certificates (birth, marriage, death) | Registry office (Standesamt) in Darmstadt | We translate the certificate as a certified translation; the international (multilingual) certificate is available directly from the registry office. |
| Recognition of foreign school certificates | Responsible State Education Authority / Hessian Ministry of Education | Certified translation for the recognition procedure; equivalence is decided by the competent authority. |
| Recognition of foreign professional & university qualifications | In Hesse, among others the Regional Council of Darmstadt or the competent chamber | 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' and Public Order Office / Immigration Office of the City of Science Darmstadt | Certified translation of the required documents – confirm the language direction and purpose in advance. |
Order 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 review your case and tell you the responsible authority; the certified translation is produced by our sworn translators – issuing the apostille itself stays with the authority, not with FÜD.

Darmstadt & Rhine-Main
Darmstadt and our translators.
With around 160,000 inhabitants, Darmstadt is Hesse's fourth-largest city and has held the title "City of Science" since 1997. It is shaped by the Technical University and Darmstadt University of Applied Sciences, the chemicals and pharmaceutical group Merck, and the European space institutions ESOC (ESA's satellite control centre) and EUMETSAT. Research, chemicals, software and aerospace generate demanding and often strictly regulated translation needs.
Beyond Darmstadt, we work throughout the Rhine-Main region: clients from Frankfurt am Main, Offenbach, Rüsselsheim and Aschaffenburg use the same digital route; you can reach the state capital Wiesbaden and Mainz through the same order handling.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions about certified translations in Darmstadt.
Do you offer certified translations in Darmstadt?
Yes. For authorities, courts and public offices in Darmstadt, court-authorised translators produce certified translations with a certification note. They are accepted throughout Germany – regardless of which court granted the authorisation.
Who issues the apostille in Darmstadt?
Not FÜD. For civil-status and administrative documents (e.g. birth, marriage and death certificates from the registry office), the Regional Council of Darmstadt (Regierungspräsidium Darmstadt) is responsible in Hesse. For court and notarial documents, the President of the Darmstadt Regional Court (Landgericht Darmstadt) is responsible. We tell you whether and where you need an apostille, and translate the apostille note along with it.
Do I have to come to Darmstadt to place an order?
Not necessarily. You upload your document online or send it by post; we deliver the finished translation nationwide, digitally and by post. In Darmstadt, in-person document submission is possible by appointment.
Do you also translate specialist texts for Darmstadt companies?
Yes. For Darmstadt's strengths in IT, pharma, technology and aerospace, professional translators with the right background handle documentation, technical texts, patents and scientific studies – from technical documentation to export contracts.
Will my certificate translation be accepted for recognition in Hesse?
A certified translation by sworn translators meets the formal requirements of the recognising bodies. The substantive equivalence of a foreign qualification is decided by the competent recognition authority (for school certificates the responsible State Education Authority; for higher-education and professional qualifications, among others, the Regional Council of Darmstadt or the competent chamber).
What does a translation in Darmstadt cost?
The price depends on length, subject area, language direction and deadline – for orientation, from €0.89 per standard line, with standard certificates usually at a flat rate. After a quick review we quote a binding fixed price incl. certification, PDF in advance and postal dispatch.
