Certification, apostille & responsible authorities
Which authority in Frankfurt (Oder) is responsible for what?
Frankfurt (Oder) is in the state of Brandenburg. 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 Frankfurt (Oder) | What FÜD handles / what to watch for |
|---|---|---|
| Certified translation | Fachübersetzungsdienst Frankfurt (Oder) 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 court & notarial documents | President of the Regional Court (Landgericht) of Frankfurt (Oder) Müllroser Chaussee 55, 15236 Frankfurt (Oder) | Applies e.g. to commercial-register extracts, notarial deeds and court decisions. Translation includes the apostille note. FÜD does not issue apostilles. |
| Apostille for civil-status & administrative documents | Ministry of the Interior and for Local Government of the State of Brandenburg (Potsdam) Henning-von-Tresckow-Straße 9–13, 14467 Potsdam | We tell you whether an apostille is required and translate the note along with it. Issuing it stays with the authority. |
| Civil-status certificates (birth, marriage, death) | Registry office (Standesamt) Frankfurt (Oder) Marktplatz 1, 15230 Frankfurt (Oder) | We translate the certificate as a certified translation; the international (multilingual) certificate is available directly from the registry office. |
| Recognition of foreign school certificates | Ministry of Education, Youth and Sport of the State of Brandenburg (certificate recognition); university degrees: statement of comparability from the ZAB (KMK) | Certified translation for the recognition procedure; equivalence is decided by the relevant body. |
| Recognition of foreign professional qualifications | Competent chamber (IHK / Chamber of Skilled Crafts) or the state recognition office | 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, immigration office | Citizens' Service / Immigration Office of the City of Frankfurt (Oder) Marktplatz 1, 15230 Frankfurt (Oder) | Certified translation of the required documents – confirm the language direction and purpose in advance. |
Order of steps 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 check your case and name the competent authority – issuing it stays with the authority. Source: mdjd.brandenburg.de (Ministry of Justice), as at 08/2026.

Frankfurt (Oder) & the Oder region
Frankfurt (Oder) and our translators.
Frankfurt (Oder) lies on the western bank of the Oder, directly opposite the Polish city of Słubice, with which it shares a joint twin-city everyday life. Around 58,000 residents, the Europa-Universität Viadrina as a German-Polish university, and the semiconductor hub anchored by IHP shape the city. Its border location creates especially high demand for certified translations and for the language pair German ⇄ Polish.
Beyond Frankfurt (Oder) we are active across the whole of Brandenburg: clients from Cottbus, the state capital Potsdam and Brandenburg an der Havel use the same digital route; the federal capital Berlin is also reached through the same order process.
