Certification, apostille & responsible authorities
Hanau is in Hesse, in the Darmstadt administrative region. 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 Hanau | What FÜD handles / what to watch for |
|---|---|---|
| Certified translation | Fachübersetzungsdienst Hanau 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 civil-status & administrative documents | Regional Council of Darmstadt (Regierungspräsidium Darmstadt) – legalisation office for all of Hesse Wilhelminenstraße 1–3, 64283 Darmstadt | 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 Hanau Regional Court (Landgericht) Nußallee 17, 63450 Hanau | Applies e.g. to commercial-register extracts, notarial deeds and court decisions. Translation includes the note. |
| Civil-status certificates (birth, marriage, death) | Registry office (Standesamt) Hanau Am Markt 14–18, 63450 Hanau | We translate the certificate as a certified translation; the international (multilingual) certificate is available directly from the registry office. |
| Recognition of foreign school certificates | Responsible State Education Authority / Hessian Ministry of Education | Certified translation for the recognition procedure; equivalence is decided by the competent authority. |
| Recognition of foreign professional & university qualifications | In Hesse, among others the Regional Council of Darmstadt or the competent chamber | 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, vehicle registration, immigration office | Citizens' Office / Immigration Office of the City of Hanau or the Main-Kinzig district Steinheimer Straße 1b, 63450 Hanau | Certified translation of the required documents – confirm the language direction and purpose in advance. |
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 the apostille itself stays with the authority, not with FÜD.
We handle urgent jobs on an express basis – after a brief feasibility check we confirm a binding deadline and fixed price. For the most requested combinations we agree the delivery date with you beforehand so the right specialist is available:
