Certification, apostille & responsible authorities
Which authority in Konstanz is responsible for what?
Konstanz is in Baden-Württemberg, in the Freiburg administrative district. 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 Konstanz | What FÜD handles / what to watch for |
|---|---|---|
| Certified translation | Fachübersetzungsdienst Konstanz Court-authorised translator (accepted nationwide) | We produce the certified translation with a certification note – accepted throughout Germany. |
| Apostille for civil-status & administrative documents | Freiburg Regional Council (Regierungspräsidium Freiburg) (for documents issued in the Freiburg administrative district) Kaiser-Joseph-Straße 167, 79098 Freiburg | 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 Konstanz Regional Court (Landgericht Konstanz) Untere Laube 27, 78462 Konstanz | Applies e.g. to commercial-register extracts, notarial deeds and court decisions. Translation includes the note. |
| Civil-status certificates (birth, marriage, death) | Konstanz registry office (Standesamt) Hussenstraße 13, 78462 Konstanz | We translate the certificate as a certified translation; the international (multilingual) certificate is available directly from the registry office. |
| Recognition of foreign school certificates | Stuttgart Regional Council (certificate-recognition office, Baden-Württemberg) | Certified translation for the recognition procedure; equivalence is decided by the authority. |
| Recognition of foreign professional qualifications | Competent chamber / recognition body (e.g. Hochrhein-Bodensee Chamber of Industry and Commerce) | 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 of the City of Konstanz / Konstanz district office (immigration office) Untere Laube 24, 78462 Konstanz | Certified translation of the required evidence – confirm the language direction and purpose in advance. |
Order of 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 review your case and name the responsible authority for you – issuing it stays with the authority, not with FÜD.

Konstanz & Lake Constance
Konstanz and our translators.
Konstanz is the largest city on Lake Constance and the county seat of the district of the same name. Its location right on the Swiss border – the city is physically merged with Kreuzlingen in the canton of Thurgau – makes Konstanz a place with a pronounced cross-border everyday life. The University of Konstanz and HTWG shape the city as a research and science hub; on a clear day the view across the lake reaches as far as the Alps.
Beyond Konstanz we are active throughout the region: clients in Singen, Villingen-Schwenningen, Friedrichshafen and Ravensburg use the same digital route; Freiburg is reached through the same order handling.
