Certification, apostille & responsible authorities
Which authority in Leverkusen is responsible for what?
Leverkusen lies in North Rhine-Westphalia, in the Cologne administrative region (Regierungsbezirk Köln). 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 Leverkusen | What FÜD handles / what to watch for |
|---|---|---|
| Certified translation | Fachübersetzungsdienst Leverkusen Court-authorised translator (accepted nationwide) | We produce the certified translation with a certification note – accepted throughout Germany. |
| Apostille for civil-status & administrative documents | Cologne Regional Authority (Bezirksregierung Köln) – Dezernat 21 (for documents issued in the Cologne administrative region) | 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 Cologne (responsible for Leverkusen; Leverkusen Local Court) Luxemburger Str. 101, 50939 Cologne | 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) Leverkusen Town Hall, Friedrich-Ebert-Platz 1, 51373 Leverkusen | We translate the certificate as a certified translation; the international (multilingual) certificate is available directly from the registry office. |
| Recognition of foreign school certificates | Cologne Regional Authority (Bezirksregierung Köln) – NRW certificate-recognition office | Certified translation for the recognition procedure; equivalence is decided by the competent authority. |
| Recognition of foreign professional qualifications | Responsible chamber / recognition authority (e.g. IHK, HWK, Bezirksregierung) | 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 | Citizen services / Immigration Office, Leverkusen | 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 check your case and name the responsible authority – issuing it stays with the authority, not with FÜD. Source: bezreg-koeln.nrw.de, as at 08/2026.

Leverkusen & the Rhineland
Leverkusen and our translators.
Leverkusen is home to around 167,000 people and lies on the Rhine between the Lower Rhine plain and the Bergisches Land – nestled between Cologne, Düsseldorf and Wuppertal. As the seat of Bayer and Lanxess and home of the Chempark, the city is a centre of the chemical and pharmaceutical industry, with correspondingly high, strictly regulated translation demand.
Beyond Leverkusen we work throughout the Rhineland and the Bergisches Land: clients in Cologne, Bonn, Wuppertal and Solingen use the same digital route; Düsseldorf and Remscheid are also served through the same order process.
