Esslingen as a business location
The largest medium-sized town in Baden-Württemberg, in the Neckar valley south-east of Stuttgart – automation technology, machine tools and toolmaking, and an export-strong Mittelstand shape the translation needs here. We assign the right specialist to every job.
Centred on Festo, Esslingen's world-leading automation-technology manufacturer: technical documentation, standards and specifications – German ⇄ English, terminology-consistent for export.
For companies such as INDEX-Werke (lathes) and Friedr. Dick (cutlery): operating and workshop manuals, conformity and inspection documents for serial markets.

Languages
We translate in both directions; every job goes to a native-speaker specialist who gets the regional variant right – for public authorities, a sworn translator produces the certified version. The strongest demand in Esslingen is for English, Turkish, Italian, Greek, Spanish and French.
Certification, apostille & responsible authorities
Esslingen lies in Baden-Württemberg, in the Stuttgart administrative region (Regierungsbezirk). 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 Esslingen | What FÜD handles / what to watch for |
|---|---|---|
| Certified translation | Fachübersetzungsdienst Esslingen Court-authorised translator (accepted nationwide) | We produce the certified translation with a certification note – accepted throughout Germany. |
| Apostille for civil-status & administrative documents | Stuttgart Regional Council (Regierungspräsidium Stuttgart) (for documents issued within the Stuttgart administrative region) Ruppmannstraße 21, 70565 Stuttgart | 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 Stuttgart Urbanstraße 20, 70182 Stuttgart | Applies e.g. to commercial-register extracts, notarial deeds and court decisions. Translation includes the note. |
| Civil-status certificates (birth, marriage, death) | Esslingen Registry Office (Standesamt) Rathausplatz 2, 73728 Esslingen am Neckar | We produce a certified translation of the certificate; the international (multilingual) certificate is available directly from the registry office. |
| Recognition of foreign school certificates | Regierungspräsidium Stuttgart (Baden-Württemberg certificate-recognition office) | Certified translation for the recognition procedure; equivalence is decided by the competent authority. |
| Recognition of foreign professional qualifications | Competent chamber / recognition office (e.g. Stuttgart Region Chamber of Commerce and Industry (IHK), Regierungspräsidium) | 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 | Citizen Services / Immigration Office, City of Esslingen or Esslingen District Esslingen District Office (Landratsamt): Pulverwiesen 11, 73728 Esslingen | 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. Esslingen falls within the district of the Regional Court (Landgericht) of Stuttgart.
Not sure whether or where you need an apostille? We review your case and tell you the responsible authority – issuing it stays with that authority, not with FÜD.
We handle 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:
