Certification, apostille & responsible authorities
Mülheim an der Ruhr is located in North Rhine-Westphalia, in the Düsseldorf administrative region (Regierungsbezirk Düsseldorf). 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 Mülheim an der Ruhr | What FÜD handles / what to watch for |
|---|---|---|
| Certified translation | Fachübersetzungsdienst Mülheim 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 Düsseldorf (Bezirksregierung Düsseldorf) (for documents issued in the Düsseldorf 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 Duisburg König-Heinrich-Platz 1, 47051 Duisburg | 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) Mülheim an der Ruhr Am Rathaus 1, 45468 Mülheim an der Ruhr | We translate the certificate as a certified translation; the international (multilingual) certificate is available directly from the registry office. |

| Residence, naturalisation, vehicle, immigration office | Citizen services / immigration office of the City of Mülheim an der Ruhr | Certified translation of the required documents – confirm the language direction and purpose in advance. |
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 – issuing it itself stays with the authority, not with FÜD.
We handle urgent jobs on an express basis – after a brief feasibility check we confirm a binding deadline and fixed price. For the most requested combinations we agree the delivery date with you beforehand so the right specialist is available:
