Certification, apostille & responsible authorities
Which authority in Plauen is responsible for what?
Plauen is in Saxony (Vogtlandkreis district). 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 Plauen | What FÜD handles / what to watch for |
|---|---|---|
| Certified translation | Fachübersetzungsdienst Plauen Court-authorised translator (accepted nationwide) | We produce the certified translation with a certification note – accepted throughout Germany. |
| Apostille for civil-status & administrative documents | Landesdirektion Sachsen (Saxony Regional Directorate) (for documents issued in Saxony) Altchemnitzer Straße 41, 09120 Chemnitz | 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 Zwickau Platz der Deutschen Einheit 1, 08056 Zwickau | Applies e.g. to commercial-register extracts, notarial deeds and court decisions. Translation includes the note. |
| Civil-status certificates (birth, marriage, death) | Plauen registry office (Standesamt) Unterer Graben 1, 08523 Plauen | We translate the certificate as a certified translation; the international (multilingual) certificate is available directly from the registry office. |
| Recognition of foreign school certificates | Saxony State Office for Schools and Education (LaSuB) | Certified translation for the recognition procedure; equivalence is decided by the competent authority. |
| Recognition of foreign professional qualifications | Competent chamber (Chemnitz Chamber of Industry and Commerce, IHK, Plauen regional office) 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, immigration office | Citizens' Office / Immigration Office, Vogtlandkreis district Postplatz 5, 08523 Plauen | 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.
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.

Plauen & the Vogtland
Plauen and our translators.
With around 65,000 inhabitants, Plauen is the largest town in the Saxon Vogtland, close to the borders with the Czech Republic and Bavaria. The town became world-famous for "Plauen lace"; to this day, machine-tool engineering, a strong textile tradition and the supplier industry shape the local economy – and with it a recurring need for technical, certified and legal translations.
Beyond Plauen we are active across the whole Vogtland and neighbouring Thuringia: clients from Zwickau, nearby Hof, Gera and Chemnitz use the same digital route; Jena and Weimar are also reached through the same order handling.
