Certification, apostille & responsible authorities
Which authority in Hof is responsible for what?
Hof lies in Bavaria, administrative district of Upper Franconia. Responsibility 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; which one depends on the document.
| Matter | Responsible authority for Hof | What FÜD handles / what to watch for |
|---|---|---|
| Certified translation | Fachübersetzungsdienst Hof Court-authorised translator (accepted nationwide) | We produce the certified translation with a certification note – accepted throughout Germany. |
| Apostille for civil-status & administrative documents | Government of Upper Franconia (Regierung von Oberfranken) – certification office, Bayreuth Ludwigstraße 20, 95444 Bayreuth | For documents issued in the administrative district of Upper Franconia. We advise whether an apostille is needed and translate the apostille note along with it. FÜD does not issue apostilles. |
| Apostille for court & notarial documents | President of the Regional Court (Landgericht) Hof Hans-Högn-Straße 10, 95030 Hof | 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) Hof Klosterstraße 1–3, 95028 Hof | We translate the certificate as a certified translation; the international (multilingual) certificate is available directly from the registry office. |
| Recognition of foreign school certificates | Certificate Recognition Office for the Free State of Bavaria (Munich) | Certified translation for the recognition procedure; equivalence is decided by the competent authority. |
| Recognition of foreign professional & university qualifications | Competent chamber / recognition office (e.g. IHK for Upper Franconia Bayreuth, HWK for Upper Franconia) | 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' Services / Immigration Office, City of Hof Klosterstraße 1–3, 95028 Hof | 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 tell you the responsible authority – issuing it stays with the authority, not with FÜD. Responsible authorities: the Bavarian district governments (civil-status & administrative documents) or the president of the Regional Court (court & notarial documents), as at 08/2026.

Hof & Upper Franconia
Hof and our translators.
Hof is Bavaria's northernmost city, an independent city (kreisfreie Stadt) in the administrative district of Upper Franconia, sitting in the tri-border area with Saxony and Thuringia. Historically shaped by the textile industry, the Hof area today is a location for textile, plastics- and metal-processing suppliers as well as long-established breweries.
As Bavaria's northernmost city, we work for Upper Franconia and the border region: clients from Bayreuth, Bamberg and Nuremberg use the same digital process; the region reaches into neighbouring Saxony as far as Plauen.

Will my certificate translation be accepted for recognition in Bavaria?
