Certification, apostille & responsible authorities
Which authority in Passau is responsible for what?
Passau is in Bavaria, in the administrative district of Lower Bavaria (Niederbayern). 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 Passau | What FÜD handles / what to watch for |
|---|---|---|
| Certified translation | Fachübersetzungsdienst Passau Court-authorised translator (accepted nationwide) | We produce the certified translation with a certification note – accepted throughout Germany. |
| Apostille for civil-status & administrative documents | Government of Lower Bavaria (Regierung von Niederbayern) – certification office Regierungsplatz 540, 84028 Landshut | 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 Passau Regional Court (Landgericht) Zengergasse 1, 94032 Passau | Applies e.g. to commercial-register extracts, notarial deeds and court decisions. Translation includes the note. |
| Civil-status certificates (birth, marriage, death) | Passau 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 | Certificate-recognition office for the Free State of Bavaria (competent body in Bavaria) | Certified translation for the recognition procedure; equivalence is decided by the office. |
| Recognition of foreign professional qualifications | Competent chamber / recognition body (e.g. Chamber of Industry and Commerce (IHK) or Chamber of Skilled Crafts (HWK); the Central Office for Foreign Education (ZAB) for academic degrees) | 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, immigration office | Immigration Office / citizen services, City of Passau | Certified translation of the required documents – confirm the language direction and purpose in advance. |
Order of 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.
Unsure whether and where you need an apostille? We check your case and name the competent authority for you – issuing it itself stays with the authority, not with FÜD.

Passau & Lower Bavaria
Passau and our translators.
With around 54,000 inhabitants, Passau is the regional centre in the easternmost part of Lower Bavaria and is known as the "Three Rivers City" (Dreiflüssestadt) at the confluence of the Danube, Inn and Ilz. Its location in the border triangle with Austria and the Czech Republic shapes everyday cross-border life. Economically, the city is defined by drivetrain engineering, fashion, publishing and e-commerce, alongside the University of Passau.
Beyond Passau we are active throughout Lower Bavaria and the Upper Palatinate: clients from Landshut, Regensburg and Ingolstadt use the same digital route; Nuremberg and the state capital Munich are reached through the same order process too.
