Certification, apostille & responsible authorities
Which authority in Rostock is responsible for what?
Rostock is in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. Who is responsible for certification and apostille depends on the type of document. FÜD provides the recognition-ready translation by sworn translators – the apostille is always issued by the competent authority, not by FÜD.
| Matter | Responsible authority for Rostock | What FÜD handles / what to watch for |
|---|---|---|
| Certified translation | Fachübersetzungsdienst Rostock 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 | Ministry of the Interior and Construction of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania (Ministerium für Inneres und Bau), Schwerin Alexandrinenstraße 1, 19055 Schwerin | 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 Rostock August-Bebel-Straße 15–20, 18055 Rostock | 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) Rostock | We translate the certificate as a certified translation; the international (multilingual) certificate is available directly from the registry office. |
| Recognition of foreign school certificates | Ministry of Education of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania (certificate recognition) | Certified translation for the recognition procedure; equivalence is decided by the competent authority. |
| Recognition of foreign professional & university qualifications | Competent chamber / recognition body (IHK, HWK) or the ZAB | 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 | Office for Migration, Hanseatic and University City of Rostock | 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 check your case and name the responsible authority; the certified translation is handled by our sworn translators – issuing the apostille itself stays with the authority, not with FÜD.

Rostock & the Baltic coast
Rostock and our translators.
With around 210,000 inhabitants, Rostock is the largest city in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania and the maritime metropolis of the Baltic coast. The Hanseatic city combines one of Germany's biggest Baltic ports with cruise, wind energy, shipbuilding and the University of Rostock. Ports, shipping lines and marine technology generate strong demand for technical, commercial and certified translations.
Beyond Rostock we are active along the entire Baltic coast and inland: clients from Wismar, Stralsund, the state capital Schwerin, Greifswald and Waren on the Müritz use the same digital order process; Lübeck is served through it too.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions about certified translations in Rostock.
Do you offer certified translations in Rostock?
Yes. For authorities, courts and public offices in Rostock, court-authorised translators produce certified translations with a certification note. They are accepted throughout Germany – regardless of the court that granted the authorisation.
Who issues the apostille in Rostock?
Not FÜD. For civil-status and administrative documents (e.g. birth, marriage and death certificates from the Rostock registry office), the Ministry of the Interior and Construction of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania (Ministerium für Inneres und Bau) in Schwerin is responsible. For court and notarial documents, the President of the Regional Court (Landgericht) of Rostock is responsible. We tell you whether and where you need an apostille and translate the apostille note along with the document.
Do I have to come to Rostock to place an order?
Not necessarily. You upload your document online or send it by post; we deliver the finished translation nationwide, digitally and by post. Rostock has a local drop-off point for document submission – in-person submission is possible by appointment.
Does your service fit Rostock's maritime economy?
Yes. For the port, shipbuilding and wind energy, our professional translators handle technical documentation and contracts – into Scandinavian and Baltic languages on request.
Will my certificate translation be accepted for recognition in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania?
A certified translation by court-authorised translators meets the formal requirements of the recognising bodies. The substantive equivalence of a foreign qualification is decided by the state's competent recognition office (school qualifications: Ministry of Education M-V; regulated professions: the competent chamber, or the ZAB for higher-education degrees).
What does a translation in Rostock cost?
The price depends on length, subject area, language direction and deadline – as a guide, from €0.89 per standard line, with standard certificates usually at a flat rate. After a quick review we quote a binding fixed price incl. certification, a PDF in advance and postal dispatch.
