Certification, apostille & responsible authorities
Which authority in Zwickau is responsible for what?
Zwickau is in Saxony (Zwickau district). 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 Zwickau | What FÜD handles / what to watch for |
|---|---|---|
| Certified translation | Fachübersetzungsdienst Zwickau Court-authorised translator (accepted nationwide) | We produce the certified translation with a certification note – accepted throughout Germany. |
| Apostille for civil-status & administrative documents | Landesdirektion Sachsen (Saxony Regional Directorate) (for documents issued in Saxony) Altchemnitzer Straße 41, 09120 Chemnitz | 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 Zwickau Platz der Deutschen Einheit 1, 08056 Zwickau | Applies e.g. to commercial-register extracts, notarial deeds and court decisions. Translation includes the note. |
| Civil-status certificates (birth, marriage, death) | Zwickau registry office (Standesamt) Neuberinplatz 1 A, 08056 Zwickau | We translate the certificate as a certified translation; the international (multilingual) certificate is available directly from the registry office. |
| Recognition of foreign school certificates | Saxony State Office for Schools and Education (LaSuB) | Certified translation for the recognition procedure; equivalence is decided by the competent authority. |
| Recognition of foreign professional qualifications | Competent chamber (Chemnitz Chamber of Industry and Commerce, IHK – Zwickau regional office) 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, immigration office | Citizens' Office / Immigration Office, Zwickau district Werdauer Straße 62, 08412 Werdau | 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 – issuing it stays with the authority, not with FÜD.

Zwickau & south-west Saxony
Zwickau and our translators.
The home of our Zwickau translators is the fourth-largest city in the Free State of Saxony and holds the status of a regional centre (Oberzentrum). Set in the valley of the Zwickauer Mulde, it lies on the edge of the Ore Mountains (Erzgebirge), not far from Chemnitz and the state capital Dresden. As the "cradle of the Saxon automotive industry", Zwickau has more than a century of tradition in the field – from the Horch and Audi works through Auto Union to today's Volkswagen Sachsen plant. This creates a technically demanding need for specialist and certified translation.
Beyond Zwickau we are active across south-west Saxony and the Vogtland region: clients from Chemnitz, Plauen, Gera, Hof and Leipzig use the same digital route – upload your document, delivered nationwide.
