Certification, apostille & responsible authorities
Which authority in Offenburg is responsible for what?
Offenburg is in Baden-Württemberg, Freiburg administrative district (Regierungsbezirk Freiburg). 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 Offenburg | What FÜD handles / what to watch for |
|---|---|---|
| Certified translation | Fachübersetzungsdienst Offenburg Court-authorised translator (accepted nationwide) | We produce the certified translation with a certification note – accepted throughout Germany. |
| Apostille for civil-status & administrative documents | Regierungspräsidium Freiburg (for documents issued within the Freiburg administrative district) Kaiser-Joseph-Straße 167, 79098 Freiburg | 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) Offenburg Hindenburgstraße 5, 77654 Offenburg | 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) Offenburg Hauptstraße 90, 77652 Offenburg | We translate the certificate as a certified translation; the international (multilingual) certificate is available directly from the registry office. |
| Recognition of foreign school certificates | Regierungspräsidium Stuttgart (Baden-Württemberg certificate-recognition office) Ruppmannstraße 21, 70565 Stuttgart | Certified translation for the recognition procedure; equivalence is decided by the authority. |
| Recognition of foreign professional qualifications | Competent chamber / recognition body (e.g. IHK Südlicher Oberrhein) | 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 | Ortenaukreis District Office (Immigration Office) or the Citizens' Office of the City of Offenburg Badstraße 20, 77652 Offenburg (Landratsamt Ortenaukreis) | Certified translation of the required documents – confirm the language direction and purpose in advance. |
Order 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 check your case and name the responsible authority – issuing it stays with the authority, not with FÜD.

Offenburg & Ortenau
Offenburg and our translators.
Offenburg is the largest city in the Ortenau district and its economic centre at the foot of the Black Forest, just a few kilometres from the French border and Strasbourg. The former free imperial city – raised to that status in 1240 – is now home to well-known publishers, trade-fair operators and industrial firms. Its border location shapes the demand for German-French specialist and contract translation.
Beyond Offenburg we work across the whole region: clients from Freiburg, Baden-Baden, Karlsruhe and Villingen-Schwenningen use the same digital route; Pforzheim is served through the same order process too.
