Certification, apostille & responsible authorities
Which authority in Görlitz is responsible for what?
Görlitz lies in Saxony (the Oberlausitz region, Görlitz district, on the border with Poland). 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 Görlitz | What FÜD handles / what to watch for |
|---|---|---|
| Certified translation | Fachübersetzungsdienst Görlitz 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) 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. |
| Apostille for court & notarial documents | President of the Regional Court (Landgericht) of Görlitz Postplatz 18, 02826 Görlitz | Applies e.g. to commercial-register extracts, notarial deeds and court decisions. Translation includes the note. |
| Civil-status certificates (birth, marriage, death) | Görlitz registry office (Standesamt) Untermarkt 6-8, 02826 Görlitz | 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 (Dresden Chamber of Industry and Commerce, IHK) 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, Görlitz district Otto-Müller-Straße 7, 02826 Görlitz | 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.
