Certification, apostille & responsible authorities

Which authority in Bamberg is responsible for what?

Bamberg is in Bavaria, in the administrative district of Upper Franconia. Responsibility 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.

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 tell you the competent authority – issuing it stays with the authority, not with FÜD. Competent authorities: the governments of the Bavarian administrative districts (civil-status/administrative documents) or the president of the Regional Court (court/notarial documents), as at 08/2026.
