Certification, apostille & responsible authorities
Rüsselsheim am Main is in Hesse, in the Darmstadt administrative region. 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 Rüsselsheim | What FÜD handles / what to watch for |
|---|---|---|
| Certified translation | Fachübersetzungsdienst Rüsselsheim 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 | Regional Council of Darmstadt (Regierungspräsidium Darmstadt) – legalisation office for all of Hesse Luisenplatz 2, 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 Darmstadt Regional Court (Landgericht) Mathildenplatz 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) Rüsselsheim am Main Marktplatz 4, 65428 Rüsselsheim am Main | We translate the certificate as a certified translation; the international (multilingual) certificate is available directly from the registry office. |

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 tell you 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:
