Certification, apostille & responsible authorities
Which authority in Witten is responsible for what?
Witten lies in North Rhine-Westphalia, in the Ennepe-Ruhr district, Arnsberg government region. Who is responsible for certification and apostille depends on the type of document. FÜD provides the recognition-ready translation, produced by court-authorised translators – the apostille is always issued by the competent authority, not by FÜD.
| Matter | Responsible authority for Witten | What FÜD handles / what to watch for |
|---|---|---|
| Certified translation | Fachübersetzungsdienst Witten Court-authorised translator (accepted nationwide) | We produce the certified translation with a certification note – accepted throughout Germany. |
| 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. |
| Apostille for court & notarial documents | President of the Regional Court (Landgericht) of Bochum Josef-Neuberger-Str. 1, 44787 Bochum | 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) Witten | We translate the certificate as a certified translation; the international (multilingual) certificate is available directly from the registry office. |
| Recognition of foreign school certificates | The NRW certificate-recognition office (District Government) | Certified translation for the recognition procedure; equivalence is decided by the competent authority. |
| Recognition of foreign professional qualifications | Responsible chamber (IHK/HWK) or recognition body | 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 of the City of Witten or the Ennepe-Ruhr district | Certified translation of the required documents – confirm the language direction and purpose in advance. |
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 responsible authority; the certified translation is handled by our sworn translators – issuing it stays with the authority, not with FÜD.
