Certification, apostille & responsible authorities
Which authority in Hagen is responsible for what?
Hagen is in North Rhine-Westphalia, in the Arnsberg administrative region (Regierungsbezirk Arnsberg). 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 Hagen | What FÜD handles / what to watch for |
|---|---|---|
| Certified translation | Fachübersetzungsdienst Hagen Court-authorised translator (accepted nationwide) | We produce the certified translation with a certification note – accepted throughout Germany. |
| Apostille for civil-status & administrative documents | Bezirksregierung Arnsberg – Department 21 (for documents issued by cities/municipalities in the Arnsberg administrative region) | 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 Hagen Heinitzstr. 42, 58097 Hagen | 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) Hagen | We translate the certificate as a certified translation; the international (multilingual) certificate is available directly from the registry office. |
| Recognition of foreign school certificates | The certificate-recognition office responsible for NRW (Bezirksregierung) | Certified translation for the recognition procedure; equivalence is decided by the competent authority. |
| Recognition of foreign professional qualifications | Responsible chamber / recognition body (e.g. SIHK zu Hagen, Chamber of Skilled Crafts) | 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' services / Immigration Office of the City of Hagen | Certified translation of the required documents – confirm the language direction and purpose in advance. |
Order & addresses
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 – so the certified translation remains fully usable in the destination country. Issuing it stays with the authority, not with FÜD.

Hagen & South Westphalia
Hagen and our translators.
The home city of our Hagen translators has around 189,000 residents across five districts and eleven quarters. The city on the Volme borders the districts of Unna, Ennepe-Ruhr and the Märkischer Kreis, and Dortmund to the north, and is considered one of the greenest large cities in North Rhine-Westphalia. As a trading and industrial location at the transition from the eastern Ruhr area to the Sauerland, Hagen is shaped by the metals and wire industry, mail-order retail and – with the FernUniversität – by education; this generates broad demand for technical and certified translations.
Beyond Hagen we work for the whole of the eastern Ruhr area and South Westphalia: clients from Dortmund, Witten, Iserlohn and the district of Unna use the same digital route; to the west the region reaches as far as Wuppertal.
