Certification, apostille & responsible authorities
Which authority in Mainz is responsible for what?
Mainz is in Rhineland-Palatinate. 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 Mainz | What FÜD handles / what to watch for |
|---|---|---|
| Certified translation | Fachübersetzungsdienst Mainz 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 | Aufsichts- und Dienstleistungsdirektion (ADD) Trier Willy-Brandt-Platz 3, 54290 Trier | 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 Mainz Diether-von-Isenburg-Straße, 55116 Mainz | 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) Mainz Kaiserstraße 3–5, 55116 Mainz | We translate the certificate as a certified translation; the international (multilingual) certificate is available directly from the registry office. |
| Recognition of foreign school certificates | Aufsichts- und Dienstleistungsdirektion (ADD) Trier | Certified translation for the recognition procedure; equivalence is decided by the authority. |
| Recognition of foreign professional qualifications | Competent chamber / recognition authority (e.g. IHK, HWK) | 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, Mainz Kaiserstraße 3–5, 55116 Mainz | 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 – so the certified translation remains fully usable in the destination country. Issuing it stays with the authority, not with FÜD.
Unsure whether and where you need an apostille? We review your case and name the responsible authority – for civil-status & administrative documents the ADD Trier, for court & notarial documents the President of the Regional Court of Mainz. The issuing itself stays with the authority, not with FÜD.
