Certification, apostille & responsible authorities
Which authority in Oberhausen is responsible for what?
Oberhausen is in North Rhine-Westphalia, Düsseldorf 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 Oberhausen | What FÜD handles / what to watch for |
|---|---|---|
| Certified translation | Fachübersetzungsdienst Oberhausen Court-authorised translator (accepted nationwide) | We produce the certified translation with a certification note – accepted throughout Germany. |
| Apostille for civil-status & administrative documents | District Government of Düsseldorf (Bezirksregierung Düsseldorf) (for documents issued in the Düsseldorf administrative region) Am Bonneshof 35, 40474 Düsseldorf | 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 Duisburg König-Heinrich-Platz 1, 47051 Duisburg | 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) Oberhausen Bahnhofstraße 66, 46145 Oberhausen | We translate the certificate as a certified translation; the international (multilingual) certificate is available directly from the registry office. |
| Recognition of foreign school certificates | District Government of Düsseldorf (certificate recognition, NRW) | Certified translation for the recognition procedure; equivalence is decided by the competent authority. |
| Recognition of foreign professional qualifications | Competent chamber / recognition office (Chamber of Industry and Commerce or Chamber of Crafts) | 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. |

Order of steps for 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 or where you need an apostille? We review your case and name the responsible authority – issuing it stays with the authority, not with FÜD.

Oberhausen & the Ruhr region
Oberhausen and our translators.
With around 210,000 residents, Oberhausen is a major city in the western Ruhr region and, as the "cradle of the Ruhr industry", was long shaped by coal and steel. After the structural transition, the city today stands for chemicals, sensor technology and automation, retail and the leisure economy – with the CentrO as one of Europe's largest shopping centres and the Gasometer as its landmark. From this environment we translate technical, commercial and certified documents.
Beyond Oberhausen we are active across the entire western Ruhr region: clients from Mülheim an der Ruhr, Duisburg and Bottrop use the same digital route; Gelsenkirchen, Bochum and Dortmund are also reached through the same order handling.
