Certification, apostille & responsible authorities
Offenbach am Main is in Hesse, in the Darmstadt administrative region. Who is responsible for certification and the 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 Offenbach | What FÜD handles / what to watch for |
|---|---|---|
| Certified translation | Fachübersetzungsdienst Offenbach Court-authorised translator (accepted nationwide) | We produce the certified translation with a certification note – accepted throughout Germany, regardless of the court of authorisation. |
| Apostille for civil-status & administrative documents | Regierungspräsidium Darmstadt (certification office for all of Hesse) Wilhelminenstraße 1–3, 64283 Darmstadt | 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) Darmstadt Mathildenplatz 13–15, 64283 Darmstadt | 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) Offenbach am Main Herrnstraße 61, 63065 Offenbach am Main | We translate the certificate as a certified translation; the international (multilingual) certificate is available directly from the registry office. |
| Recognition of foreign school certificates | Responsible State School Authority (Staatliches Schulamt) / Hessian Ministry of Education | Certified translation for the recognition procedure; equivalence is decided by the competent authority. |
| Recognition of foreign professional & university qualifications | In Hesse, among others, Regierungspräsidium Darmstadt or the competent chamber | 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 Offenbach am Main Berliner Straße 100, 63065 Offenbach am Main | 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 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:
