Certification, apostille & responsible authorities
Which authority in Trier is responsible for what?
Trier is located in Rhineland-Palatinate. 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 Trier | What FÜD handles / what to watch for |
|---|---|---|
| Certified translation | Fachübersetzungsdienst Trier Court-authorised translator (accepted nationwide) | We produce the certified translation with a certification note – accepted throughout Germany. |
| Apostille for civil-status & administrative documents | Supervisory and Service Directorate (ADD) Trier Willy-Brandt-Platz 3, 54290 Trier | 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 Trier Justizstraße 2-6, 54290 Trier | 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) Trier Am Augustinerhof, 54290 Trier | We translate the certificate as a certified translation; the international (multilingual) certificate is available directly from the registry office. |
| Recognition of foreign school certificates | Supervisory and Service Directorate (ADD) Trier | Certified translation for the recognition procedure; equivalence is decided by the authority. |
| Recognition of foreign professional qualifications | Responsible chamber / recognition office (e.g. IHK, HWK) | 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 registration, immigration office | Citizens' services / Immigration Office Trier Am Augustinerhof, 54290 Trier | 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 review your case and name the responsible authority – issuing it stays with the authority, not with FÜD.

Trier & the Moselle region
Trier and our translators.
Trier is Germany's oldest city and, with around 111,000 inhabitants, the regional centre of the Trier region in the Moselle valley. The university city lies just about 15 km from Luxembourg – with correspondingly strong cross-border demand between German, French and Luxembourgish. Public administration, healthcare, the consumer-goods industry and viticulture along the Moselle, Saar and Ruwer shape the local economy.
Beyond Trier we serve the Moselle-Saar region: customers from Koblenz, Saarbrücken and the state capital Mainz take the same route; westward the region reaches as far as Kaiserslautern in the Westpfalz.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions about certified translations in Trier.
Do you offer certified translations in Trier?
Yes. For authorities, courts and public offices in Trier, court-authorised translators produce certified translations with a certification note. They are accepted throughout Germany, regardless of the court that granted the authorisation.
Who issues the apostille in Trier?
Not FÜD. For civil-status and administrative documents (e.g. birth, marriage and death certificates from the Trier registry office) the Supervisory and Service Directorate (Aufsichts- und Dienstleistungsdirektion, ADD) Trier is responsible. For court and notarial documents the President of the Regional Court (Landgericht) of Trier is responsible. We tell you whether and where you need an apostille and translate the apostille note along with it.
Do I have to come to Trier to place an order?
Not necessarily. You upload your document online or send it by post; we deliver the finished translation nationwide, digitally and by post. Trier has a local drop-off point for documents – in-person submission is possible by appointment.
Do you also translate specialist texts for Trier businesses?
Yes. For industry, viticulture, the hospital and the University of Trier, professional translators with the right background translate technical, medical and legal texts – including for cross-border traffic with Luxembourg and France.
Will my certificate translation be accepted for recognition in Rhineland-Palatinate?
A certified translation by court-authorised translators meets the formal requirements of the recognising bodies. The equivalence of a foreign qualification is decided by the competent recognition office – for school qualifications the Supervisory and Service Directorate (ADD) Trier, for regulated professions the responsible chamber.
What does a translation in Trier cost?
The price depends on length, subject area, language direction and deadline – as a guide from €0.89 per standard line, standard certificates usually at a flat rate. After a quick review we quote a binding fixed price incl. certification, PDF in advance and postal dispatch.
