Certification, apostille & responsible authorities
Which authority in Siegen is responsible for what?
Siegen lies in North Rhine-Westphalia, in the district of Siegen-Wittgenstein, administrative region of Arnsberg. 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 Siegen | What FÜD handles / what to watch for |
|---|---|---|
| Certified translation | Fachübersetzungsdienst Siegen 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 | Arnsberg District Government (Bezirksregierung Arnsberg) Seibertzstraße 1, 59821 Arnsberg | We tell you whether an apostille is required and translate the apostille note along with it. FÜD does not issue apostilles. |

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 competent authority – issuing it stays with the authority, not with FÜD.
