Certification, apostille & responsible authorities
Which authority in Braunschweig is responsible for what?
Braunschweig is in Lower Saxony and is the seat of the Regional Court (Landgericht) and the Higher Regional Court (Oberlandesgericht) of Braunschweig. Who is responsible for certification and apostille depends on the type of document – with a Lower Saxony peculiarity: civil-status and administrative documents are apostilled by the Police Headquarters (Polizeidirektion), not by a regional government authority (Regierungspräsidium). FÜD provides the recognition-ready translation – the apostille is always issued by the competent authority, not by FÜD.
| Matter | Responsible authority for Braunschweig | What FÜD handles / what to watch for |
|---|---|---|
| Certified translation | Fachübersetzungsdienst Braunschweig Court-authorised translator (accepted nationwide) | We produce the certified translation with a certification note – accepted throughout Germany, regardless of the court of authorisation. |
| Apostille for court & notarial documents | President of the Regional Court (Landgericht) of Braunschweig Münzstraße 17, 38100 Braunschweig | Applies e.g. to commercial-register extracts, notarial deeds, certificates of inheritance and court decisions. We translate them including the note. FÜD does not issue apostilles. |
| Apostille for civil-status & administrative documents | Braunschweig Police Headquarters (Polizeidirektion) (Lower Saxony: not a Regierungspräsidium) Friedrich-Voigtländer-Straße 41, 38104 Braunschweig | In Lower Saxony the Police Headquarters apostilles registry-office, residents'-registration and other administrative documents. We tell you whether an apostille is required and translate the note along with it. |
| Civil-status certificates (birth, marriage, death) | Registry office (Standesamt) Braunschweig Platz der Deutschen Einheit 1, 38100 Braunschweig | We translate the certificate as a certified translation; the international (multilingual) certificate is available directly from the registry office. |
| Recognition of foreign school certificates | Competent recognition office of the State of Lower Saxony | Certified translation for the procedure; equivalence is decided by the competent authority. |
| Recognition of foreign professional qualifications | Competent chamber / recognition office (IHK, HWK); assessment where applicable via the ZAB | We provide the formally correct translation of your diploma, transcript and professional certificate. |
| Police clearance certificate for use abroad | Federal Office of Justice (BfJ); apostille via the Federal Office for Foreign Affairs (BfAA) BfJ: Adenauerallee 99–103, 53113 Bonn · BfAA: Kirchhofstraße 1–2, 14776 Brandenburg a. d. Havel | Certified translation of the police clearance certificate, incl. any apostille note. |
| Residence, naturalisation, vehicle, immigration office | Citizens' services / Immigration office of the City of Braunschweig Friedrich-Seele-Straße 7, 38122 Braunschweig | 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.
The Lower Saxony peculiarity: for registry-office and administrative documents the responsible body is not a Regierungspräsidium but the Braunschweig Police Headquarters (Polizeidirektion); for court and notarial documents it is the President of the Regional Court (Landgericht) of Braunschweig. If you are unsure, we check your case and name the responsible body – issuing stays with the authority, not with FÜD.
