Certification, apostille & responsible authorities
Which authority in Oldenburg is responsible for what?
Oldenburg is in Lower Saxony. The regional government authorities (Bezirksregierungen) were abolished here in 2005 – so the apostille is not issued by the city administration but, depending on the type of document, by one of two authorities. FÜD provides the recognition-ready translation through court-authorised (sworn) translators; the apostille is always issued by the competent authority, not by FÜD.
| Matter | Responsible authority for Oldenburg | What FÜD handles / what to watch for |
|---|---|---|
| Certified translation | Fachübersetzungsdienst Oldenburg Court-authorised translator (accepted nationwide) | We produce the certified translation with a certification note – accepted throughout Germany. |
| Apostille for civil-status & administrative documents | Oldenburg Police Directorate (Polizeidirektion Oldenburg) – in Lower Saxony the police issues the apostille on administrative documents Theodor-Tantzen-Platz 8, 26122 Oldenburg | 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 Oldenburg Elisabethstraße 7, 26135 Oldenburg | Applies e.g. to commercial-register extracts, notarial deeds and court decisions. Translation includes the note. |
| Civil-status certificates (birth, marriage, death) | Oldenburg registry office (Standesamt) | We translate the certificate as a certified translation; the international (multilingual) certificate is available directly from the registry office. |
| Recognition of foreign school certificates | Regional State Office for Schools and Education (RLSB) – Lower Saxony certificate-recognition office (Osnabrück location) | Certified translation for the recognition procedure; equivalence is decided by that office. |
| Recognition of foreign professional qualifications | Responsible chamber (Chamber of Industry and Commerce / Chamber of Skilled Crafts) or recognition body | 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 or vehicle-registration office of the City of Oldenburg | Certified translation of the required documents – confirm the language direction and purpose in advance. |
Order & the Lower Saxony specifics
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.
Unlike in many federal states, in Lower Saxony the apostille for civil-status and administrative documents is issued by the Oldenburg Police Directorate (Department 22, Theodor-Tantzen-Platz 8, 26122 Oldenburg); for court and notarial documents by the President of the Regional Court (Landgericht) of Oldenburg. Not sure which authority you need? We check your case; the certified translation is produced by our court-authorised (sworn) translators – issuing it stays with the authority, not with FÜD.

Oldenburg & the north-west
Oldenburg and our translators.
With around 175,000 inhabitants, Oldenburg is the regional centre of the north-west of Lower Saxony, between Bremen and the North Sea coast. The former residence city combines the energy and telecommunications group EWE, the photo service CEWE and a strong finance and insurance sector around Öffentliche Versicherung and OLB with Carl von Ossietzky University and its university medicine. This creates broad demand for specialist and certified translations.
Beyond Oldenburg we work across the whole north-west: clients from Bremen, Delmenhorst and Wilhelmshaven use the same digital route; Bremerhaven and Osnabrück are also reachable through the same order handling.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions about certified translations in Oldenburg.
Do you offer certified translations in Oldenburg?
Yes. For authorities, courts and public offices in Oldenburg, court-authorised translators produce certified translations with a certification note. They are accepted throughout Germany, regardless of the court that granted the authorisation.
Who issues the apostille in Oldenburg?
Not FÜD. In Lower Saxony responsibility is split: for civil-status and administrative documents (e.g. birth, marriage and death certificates from the Oldenburg registry office) the Oldenburg Police Directorate (Polizeidirektion Oldenburg) issues the apostille; for court and notarial documents the President of the Regional Court (Landgericht) of Oldenburg. We tell you whether and where you need an apostille and translate the apostille note along with it.
Do I have to come to Oldenburg 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. Oldenburg has a local drop-off point for documents – in-person submission is possible by appointment.
Does your service fit Oldenburg's energy and agricultural profile?
Yes. For wind power, energy and the agri-food sector, professional translators translate technical, agricultural and labelling documents to standard into the languages you need.
Will my certificate translation be accepted for recognition in Lower Saxony?
The certified translation by court-authorised translators meets the formal requirements of the recognising bodies. Whether a foreign qualification is equivalent in content is decided by the competent authority (e.g. the Regional State Office for Schools and Education for school qualifications, the responsible chamber for regulated professions).
What does a translation in Oldenburg cost?
The price depends on length, subject area, language direction and deadline – for orientation from €0.89 per standard line, standard certificates usually at a flat rate. After a quick review we quote a binding fixed price incl. certification, PDF in advance and postal dispatch.
