Certification, apostille & responsible authorities
Which authority in Erfurt is responsible for what?
Erfurt is in Thuringia. 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 Erfurt | What FÜD handles / what to watch for |
|---|---|---|
| Certified translation | Fachübersetzungsdienst Erfurt Court-authorised translator (accepted nationwide) | We produce the certified translation with a certification note – accepted throughout Germany. |
| Apostille for civil-status & administrative documents | Thuringian State Administration Office (Weimar) Weimarplatz 4, 99423 Weimar | 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 Erfurt Juri-Gagarin-Ring 105–107, 99084 Erfurt | 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) Erfurt | 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 recognition office in Thuringia (university degrees: ZAB of the KMK) | Certified translation for the recognition procedure; equivalence is decided by the competent authority. |
| Recognition of foreign professional qualifications | Competent chamber / recognition office (e.g. IHK Erfurt or the Chamber of Skilled Crafts Erfurt) | 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 | Certified translation of the police clearance certificate, incl. any apostille note. |
| Residence, naturalisation, vehicle registration, immigration office | Citizens' services / Immigration Office of the City of Erfurt | Certified translation of the required documents – confirm the language direction and purpose in advance. |
Order of apostille and translation
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 or where you need an apostille? We review your case and name the competent authority – issuing it stays with the authority, not with FÜD.

Yes. For authorities, courts and public offices in Erfurt, court-authorised translators produce certified translations with a certification note. They are accepted throughout Germany – regardless of which court granted the authorisation.

Not necessarily. You upload your document online or send it by post; we deliver the finished translation nationwide, digitally and by post. In Erfurt there is a local point for document submission – in-person drop-off is possible by appointment.

Yes. For the state administration, microelectronics, logistics and the food industry, professional translators with the right background translate technical, commercial and legal texts – from technical documentation to export contracts.
Will my certificate translation be accepted for recognition in Thuringia?
A certified translation by court-authorised translators meets the formal requirements of the recognising bodies.
