Certification, apostille & responsible authorities
Which authority in Pforzheim is responsible for what?
Pforzheim lies in Baden-Württemberg, in the Karlsruhe administrative district (Regierungsbezirk Karlsruhe). 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 Pforzheim | What FÜD handles / what to watch for |
|---|---|---|
| Certified translation | Fachübersetzungsdienst Pforzheim Court-authorised translator (accepted nationwide) | We produce the certified translation with a certification note – accepted throughout Germany. |
| Apostille for civil-status & administrative documents | Regierungspräsidium Karlsruhe (regional administrative authority; for documents issued in the Karlsruhe administrative district) Schlossplatz 1-3, 76131 Karlsruhe | 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) Karlsruhe Hans-Thoma-Straße 7, 76133 Karlsruhe | 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) Pforzheim Marktplatz 1, 75175 Pforzheim | 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 (certificate-recognition office, Baden-Württemberg) | Certified translation for the recognition procedure; equivalence is decided by the competent authority. |
| Recognition of foreign professional qualifications | Competent chamber / recognition body (e.g. IHK Nordschwarzwald Chamber of Commerce, Karlsruhe Chamber of Skilled Crafts or the Regierungspräsidium) | 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, immigration office | Citizens' Office / Immigration Office of the City of Pforzheim Östliche Karl-Friedrich-Straße 2, 75175 Pforzheim | Certified translation of the required documents – confirm the language direction and purpose in advance. |
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 and where you need an apostille? We review your case and name the responsible authority – issuing it stays with the authority, not with FÜD.
