Certification, apostille & responsible authorities
Which authority in Schwerin is responsible for what?
Schwerin is in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. 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 Schwerin | What FÜD handles / what to watch for |
|---|---|---|
| Certified translation | Fachübersetzungsdienst Schwerin 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 | Ministry of the Interior and Construction of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania (Ministerium für Inneres und Bau), Schwerin Alexandrinenstraße 1, 19055 Schwerin | 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 Schwerin Demmlerplatz 1–2, 19053 Schwerin | 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) Schwerin Am Packhof 2–6, 19053 Schwerin | We translate the certificate as a certified translation; the international (multilingual) certificate is available directly from the registry office. |
| Recognition of foreign school certificates | Ministry of Education of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania (certificate recognition) | Certified translation for the recognition procedure; equivalence is decided by the competent authority. |
| Recognition of foreign professional & university qualifications | Competent chamber / recognition body (IHK, HWK) or the ZAB | 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, immigration office | Citizens' Office / Immigration Office of the State Capital Schwerin Am Packhof 2–6, 19053 Schwerin | Certified translation of the required documents – confirm the language direction and purpose in advance. |
Order of steps for 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 check your case and name the responsible authority – issuing the apostille itself stays with the authority, not with FÜD.

Schwerin & Mecklenburg
Schwerin and our translators.
With around 96,000 inhabitants, Schwerin is Germany's smallest state capital and the seat of government of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. Schwerin Castle – seat of the state parliament (Landtag) and set on an island – anchors the old town and a chain of lakes around it; more than a quarter of the city's area is water. As the state's centre for politics, administration and healthcare, Schwerin generates broad demand for certified, official and professional translations.
Beyond Schwerin we are active across the whole of Mecklenburg and the western Baltic region: clients from Wismar, Rostock, Waren on the Müritz and Neubrandenburg use the same digital order process; neighbouring Lübeck and Hamburg are covered too.
