Certification, apostille & responsible authorities
Which authority in Krefeld is responsible for what?
Krefeld is in North Rhine-Westphalia, Düsseldorf 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 Krefeld | What FÜD handles / what to watch for |
|---|---|---|
| Certified translation | Fachübersetzungsdienst Krefeld Court-authorised (sworn) translator (accepted nationwide) | We produce the certified translation with a certification note – accepted throughout Germany. |
| Apostille for civil-status & administrative documents | Düsseldorf District Government (Bezirksregierung Düsseldorf) – Department 21 (for documents issued in the Düsseldorf administrative district) Am Bonneshof 35, 40474 Düsseldorf | 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 Krefeld Nordwall 131, 47798 Krefeld | 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) Krefeld Rheinstraße 138, 47798 Krefeld | We translate the certificate as a certified translation; the international (multilingual) certificate is available directly from the registry office. |
| Recognition of foreign school certificates | Düsseldorf District Government (certificate recognition, NRW) | Certified translation for the recognition procedure; equivalence is decided by the competent authority. |
| Recognition of foreign professional qualifications | Competent chamber / recognition office (Chamber of Industry and Commerce or Chamber of Crafts, District Government) | 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, City of Krefeld Am Hauptbahnhof 5, 47798 Krefeld | 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: brd.nrw.de, as at 08/2026.
Beyond Krefeld we work across the whole Lower Rhine and the Rhineland region: clients from Moers, Duisburg, Neuss, Düsseldorf and Mönchengladbach use the same digital route to a certified translation.

Krefeld & the Lower Rhine
Krefeld and our translators.
With around 227,000 inhabitants, Krefeld is one of the large cities on the left bank of the Lower Rhine and was long a centre of textile finishing as the "velvet and silk city". Today its economy is shaped by chemistry and materials – around Chempark Uerdingen – along with stainless steel, coatings and plant engineering. From this environment we translate above all technical documentation, safety data sheets, standards and contracts.
Beyond Krefeld we work across the whole Lower Rhine and the Rhineland: clients from Moers, Duisburg and Neuss use the same digital route; Mönchengladbach and the state capital Düsseldorf are reached through the same order process too.
