Certification, apostille & responsible authorities
Which authority in Herne is responsible for what?
Herne is in North Rhine-Westphalia, in the Arnsberg administrative region. 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 Herne | What FÜD handles / what to watch for |
|---|---|---|
| Certified translation | Fachübersetzungsdienst Herne Court-authorised translator (accepted nationwide) | We produce the certified translation with a certification note – accepted throughout Germany. |
| Apostille for civil-status & administrative documents | District Government of Arnsberg (Bezirksregierung Arnsberg) – Department 21 (for documents issued by cities/municipalities in the Arnsberg region) Seibertzstraße 1, 59821 Arnsberg | 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 Bochum (to whose district the Herne Local Court (Amtsgericht) belongs) Josef-Neuberger-Straße 1, 44787 Bochum | 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) Herne Friedrich-Ebert-Platz 2, 44623 Herne | 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 office (e.g. IHK Mittleres Ruhrgebiet, 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 | Citizen Services / Immigration Office of the City of Herne Shamrockring 1, 44623 Herne | 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 or where you need an apostille? We review your case and name the responsible authority – issuing it stays with the authority, not with FÜD. Source: bra.nrw.de, as at 08/2026.

Herne & the Ruhr region
Herne and our translators.
Herne was formed in 1975 from the merger of the towns of Herne and Wanne-Eickel and, with just under 160,000 inhabitants, is one of Germany's smallest yet most densely populated cities. Located in the heart of the Ruhr region between Bochum, Gelsenkirchen and Recklinghausen, the city is shaped by mechanical and plant engineering, drive technology, chemicals and pharmaceutical distribution – and therefore by technical, certified and legal translations.
Beyond Herne we work for the entire central and northern Ruhr region: clients from Bochum, Gelsenkirchen, Recklinghausen and Dortmund use the same digital route; Oberhausen and Witten are also reachable through the same order process.
