Certification & apostille
An apostille for your Stuttgart documents – before translation.
Good to know – apostille in Stuttgart
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 – so the certified translation remains fully usable in the destination country.
The apostille is issued by the competent authority, not by FÜD – which one depends on the document:
- Civil-status & administrative documents (birth, marriage, registration): Regional Council Stuttgart (Regierungspräsidium Stuttgart) – Unit 24, Ruppmannstraße 21, 70565 Stuttgart.
- Notarial & court documents (contracts, judgments, notarial certifications): President of the Regional Court (Landgericht) of Stuttgart, Urbanstraße 20, 70182 Stuttgart.
We tell you in advance which body is responsible for your document and translate the apostille note along with it. Source: rps.baden-wuerttemberg.de, as at 08/2026.
Competent authorities
Which authority in Stuttgart is responsible for what?
Stuttgart is an urban district in the Stuttgart administrative region. Which authority is responsible for certification and apostille depends on the type of document. FÜD provides the recognisable translation – the apostille is always issued by the competent authority, not by FÜD.

On the ground
Stuttgart and our translators.
As the heart of the German automotive and mechanical engineering industry, with global brands and thousands of suppliers, Stuttgart has a high need for technical and certified translations – from operating manuals and requirement specifications to patents and contracts. The high export ratio of Swabian industry demands consistent terminology across many languages and product lines.
As a centre of science with the University of Stuttgart and numerous institutes, academic demand is added: studies, journal articles and publications. For every task we deploy a specialist in the relevant field – not the nearest generalist.
