Translators in Dresden for 70+ languages – in the right variant.
We translate in both directions; every job goes to a native-speaker specialist who gets the regional variant right – for public authorities, a sworn translator produces the certified version. The strongest demand in Dresden is for English, Russian, Czech, Arabic, Vietnamese and Polish.
Certification & apostille
Apostille for your Dresden documents – before the translation.
Good to know – apostille in Dresden
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 – so the certified translation remains fully usable in the destination country.
The apostille is issued by the competent authority, not by FÜD – which one depends on the document:
- Civil-status & administrative documents (birth, marriage, registration certificate): Landesdirektion Sachsen – Dresden office, Stauffenbergallee 2, 01099 Dresden.
- Notarial & court documents (contracts, judgments, notarial certifications): President of the Regional Court (Landgericht) of Dresden, Lothringer Straße 1, 01069 Dresden.
We tell you in advance which authority is responsible for your document, and translate the apostille note along with it. Source: lds.sachsen.de, as at 08/2026.
Certification, apostille & responsible authorities
Which authority in Dresden is responsible for what?
Dresden lies in Saxony (an independent city and state capital). 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.

| Apostille for civil-status & administrative documents | Landesdirektion Sachsen (for documents issued in Saxony) Stauffenbergallee 2, 01099 Dresden | We tell you whether an apostille is required and translate the apostille note along with it. FÜD does not issue apostilles. |

Order 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 tell you the responsible authority – issuing it stays with the authority, not with FÜD.

Dresden & Saxony
Dresden and our translators.
As the heart of "Silicon Saxony", home to Globalfoundries, Infineon and a dense IT landscape, Dresden has a highly technical translation need – from process and specification documents through patents to software localisation. Its proximity to the Czech Republic and Poland, together with international specialists, calls for a broad spectrum of languages.
As a city of science and culture, home to TU Dresden and numerous institutes, academic demand is added: studies, journal articles and publications. For every task we deploy a specialist in the relevant field – not the nearest generalist.
