Certification, apostille & competent authorities
Which authority is responsible for what in Heilbronn?
Heilbronn is in Baden-Württemberg, Stuttgart administrative district (Regierungsbezirk Stuttgart). Who is responsible for certification and the apostille depends on the type of document. FÜD provides the recognisable translation – the apostille is always issued by the competent authority, not by FÜD.
| Matter | Competent authority for Heilbronn | What FÜD does / what to bear in mind |
|---|---|---|
| Certified translation | Fachübersetzungsdienst Heilbronn Court-authorised translator (accepted nationwide) | We produce the certified translation with a certification note – accepted throughout Germany. |
| Apostille for civil-status & administrative documents | Regierungspräsidium Stuttgart (Stuttgart Regional Council, for documents issued within the Stuttgart administrative district) Ruppmannstraße 21, 70565 Stuttgart | We tell you whether an apostille is needed and translate the apostille note as well. FÜD does not issue apostilles. |
| Apostille for court & notarial documents | President of the Regional Court (Landgericht) Heilbronn Wilhelmstraße 8, 74072 Heilbronn | Applies e.g. to commercial-register extracts, notarial deeds and court decisions. Translation incl. the note. |
| Civil-status records (birth, marriage, death) | Heilbronn registry office (Standesamt) | We translate the record with certification; the international (multilingual) certificate is issued directly by the registry office. |
| Recognition of foreign school certificates | Regierungspräsidium Stuttgart (Baden-Württemberg certificate recognition office) | Certified translation for the recognition procedure; equivalence is decided by the authority. |
| Recognition of foreign professional qualifications | Competent chamber / recognition body (e.g. IHK Heilbronn-Franken, Regierungspräsidium) | We supply the formally correct translation of diploma, transcript and professional certificate. |
| Police clearance certificate for use abroad | Federal Office of Justice (Bundesamt für Justiz, BfJ), Bonn | Certified translation of the police clearance certificate incl. any apostille note. |
| Residence, naturalisation, vehicle, immigration office | Citizens' services / immigration office of the City of Heilbronn and the Heilbronn city and rural district | Certified translation of the required evidence – agree 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 first affixed to the original document, after which we translate the document including the apostille note. Heilbronn is home to its own Regional Court (Landgericht).
Not sure whether and where you need an apostille? We review your case and name the competent authority – issuing it remains with the authority, not with FÜD.

Yes. For trade, industry, chemicals and technology in the Heilbronn Unterland, professional translators with the right background translate contracts, tender and customs documents, technical documentation and correspondence – confidentially and with consistent terminology.

Not necessarily. You upload your document online or send it by post; we deliver the finished translation nationwide, digitally and by post. There is a local drop-off point in Heilbronn for document submission – in-person hand-over is possible by appointment.
Will my certificate translation be accepted for recognition in Baden-Württemberg?
A certified translation by court-authorised translators meets the formal requirements of the recognising bodies. Whether a foreign qualification is equivalent in content is decided by the competent recognition body (e.g. the Regierungspräsidium Stuttgart for school qualifications, the competent chamber for regulated professions).
