Certification, apostille & competent authorities
Which authority in Tübingen is responsible for what?
Tübingen lies in Baden-Württemberg, Tübingen 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.
| Matter | Competent authority for Tübingen | What FÜD handles / what to watch for |
|---|---|---|
| Certified translation | Fachübersetzungsdienst Tübingen Sworn translator (accepted nationwide) | We produce the certified translation with a certification note – accepted throughout Germany. |
| Apostille for civil-status & administrative documents | Regional Council Tübingen (Regierungspräsidium Tübingen) (for documents issued in the Tübingen administrative region) Konrad-Adenauer-Straße 20, 72072 Tübingen | We tell you whether an apostille is needed and translate the apostille note. FÜD does not issue apostilles. |
| Apostille for court & notarial documents | President of the Regional Court (Landgericht) of Tübingen Doblerstraße 14, 72074 Tübingen | Applies e.g. to commercial-register extracts, notarial deeds and court decisions. Translation incl. note. |
| Civil-status documents (birth, marriage, death) | Registry office (Standesamt) Tübingen Schmiedtorstraße 4, 72070 Tübingen | We translate the certificate with certification; the international (multilingual) certificate is available directly from the registry office. |
| Recognition of foreign school certificates | Regional Council Stuttgart (Certificate Recognition Office BW) Ruppmannstraße 21, 70565 Stuttgart | Certified translation for the recognition procedure; equivalence is decided by that body. |
| Recognition of foreign professional qualifications | Competent chamber / recognition body (e.g. IHK Reutlingen) | We provide the formally correct translation of 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 | Citizen services of the City of Tübingen / immigration office of Tübingen district | Certified translation of the required documents – agree 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 competent authority – the issuing itself stays with the authority, not with FÜD.

Tübingen & Neckar-Alb
Tübingen and our translators.
With around 91,000 inhabitants, Tübingen is one of Germany's classic university towns: the Eberhard Karls University, founded in 1477, and the university hospital shape the city on the Neckar, where almost one in four residents is a student. Around this excellence university, a strong medical, medical-technology and biotechnology hub has grown, along with Cyber Valley as a European centre for AI research. This creates high demand for scientific, medical and certified translations.
Beyond Tübingen we are active across the whole Neckar-Alb region: clients from neighbouring Reutlingen and the state capital Stuttgart use the same digital route; Ulm, Ravensburg and Konstanz are reached through the same order handling.
