Certification, apostille & responsible authorities
Which authority in Magdeburg is responsible for what?
Magdeburg is in Saxony-Anhalt. 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 Magdeburg | What FÜD handles / what to watch for |
|---|---|---|
| Certified translation | Fachübersetzungsdienst Magdeburg Court-authorised translator (accepted nationwide) | We produce the certified translation with a certification note – accepted throughout Germany. |
| Apostille for civil-status & administrative documents | State Administration Office of Saxony-Anhalt (Landesverwaltungsamt), Halle Ernst-Kamieth-Straße 2, 06112 Halle (Saale) | 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 Magdeburg Halberstädter Straße 8, 39112 Magdeburg | 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) Magdeburg Humboldtstraße 11, 39112 Magdeburg | We translate the certificate as a certified translation; the international (multilingual) certificate is available directly from the registry office. |
| Recognition of foreign school certificates | State Education Office of Saxony-Anhalt (Landesschulamt); for university degrees, the ZAB of the KMK | Certified translation for the recognition procedure; equivalence is decided by the competent authority. |
| Recognition of foreign professional qualifications | Responsible chamber / recognition body (e.g. Magdeburg Chamber of Industry & Commerce or Magdeburg Chamber of 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' Office / Immigration Office of the City of Magdeburg Lübecker Straße 53, 39124 Magdeburg | 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.

Magdeburg & Saxony-Anhalt
Magdeburg and our translators.
Magdeburg is the capital of Saxony-Anhalt and, with around 240,000 inhabitants, one of the large cities on the Elbe. The former imperial palatinate of Otto I is today a hub for heavy machinery and plant engineering, wind energy and business services, and – with Otto von Guericke University – a centre of science. The Port of Magdeburg is one of Germany's largest inland ports and makes the city a logistics node between Berlin, Hanover and Leipzig.
Beyond Magdeburg we work across the whole of Saxony-Anhalt and into neighbouring Lower Saxony: clients from Halle use the same digital route; to the west the region reaches Braunschweig, Wolfsburg and Salzgitter, and neighbouring Leipzig is served through the same order process.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions about certified translations in Magdeburg.
Do you offer certified translations in Magdeburg?
Yes. For authorities, courts and public offices in Magdeburg, court-authorised translators produce certified translations with a certification note. They are accepted throughout Germany, regardless of which court granted the authorisation.
Who issues the apostille in Magdeburg?
Not FÜD. For civil-status and administrative documents (e.g. birth, marriage and death certificates from the Magdeburg registry office), the State Administration Office of Saxony-Anhalt (Landesverwaltungsamt) in Halle is responsible. For court and notarial documents, the President of the Regional Court (Landgericht) of Magdeburg is responsible. We tell you whether and where you need an apostille and translate the apostille note along with the document.
Do I have to come to Magdeburg to place an order?
Not necessarily. You upload your document online or send it by post; we deliver the finished translation nationwide, digitally and by post. Magdeburg has a local point for document drop-off – in-person submission is possible by appointment.
Do you also translate specialist texts for Magdeburg companies and the university?
Yes. For heavy machinery and plant engineering, renewable energy and logistics, and for Otto von Guericke University, professional translators with the right background handle technical, academic and legal texts – from documentation to export contracts.
Will my certificate translation be accepted for recognition in Saxony-Anhalt?
A certified translation by sworn translators meets the formal requirements of the recognising bodies. Whether a foreign qualification is equivalent in substance is decided by the competent recognition body in Saxony-Anhalt (for foreign university degrees the ZAB of the KMK, for regulated professions the responsible chamber).
What does a translation in Magdeburg cost?
The price depends on length, subject area, language direction and deadline – for orientation, from €0.89 per standard line, with standard certificates usually at a flat rate. After a quick review we quote a binding fixed price incl. certification, a PDF in advance and postal dispatch.
