Certification, apostille & responsible authorities
Salzgitter is in Lower Saxony; regional government authorities (Bezirksregierungen) have not existed here since 2005. 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 Salzgitter | What FÜD handles / what to watch for |
|---|---|---|
| Certified translation | Fachübersetzungsdienst Salzgitter Court-authorised translator (accepted nationwide) | We produce the certified translation with a certification note – accepted throughout Germany. |
| Apostille for civil-status & administrative documents | Braunschweig Police Directorate (in Lower Saxony, the police directorates apostille administrative and civil-status documents) Friedrich-Voigtländer-Straße 41, 38104 Braunschweig | 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 Braunschweig Regional Court (Landgericht) Münzstraße 17, 38100 Braunschweig | Applies e.g. to commercial-register extracts, notarial deeds and court decisions. Translation includes the note. |

| Police clearance certificate for use abroad | Federal Office of Justice (BfJ), Bonn; apostille on federal documents: Federal Office for Foreign Affairs (BfAA) BfJ: Adenauerallee 99-103, 53113 Bonn · BfAA: Werderscher Markt 1, 10117 Berlin | Certified translation of the police clearance certificate, incl. any apostille note. |
| Residence, naturalisation, vehicle registration, immigration office | Citizens' services / immigration office of the City of Salzgitter Joachim-Campe-Straße 6-8, 38226 Salzgitter | Certified translation of the required documents – confirm the language direction and purpose in advance. |
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 competent authority – issuing it stays with the authority, not with FÜD.
We handle urgent jobs on an express basis – after a brief feasibility check we confirm a binding deadline and fixed price. For the most requested combinations we agree the delivery date with you beforehand so the right specialist is available:
Salzgitter & the region
With around 105,000 inhabitants, Salzgitter is one of Germany's younger cities: founded in 1942 around its steelworks, it belongs today to the Hannover-Braunschweig-Göttingen-Wolfsburg metropolitan region. It is shaped by steel, automotive and battery-cell production, rail vehicles and mechanical engineering. From this industrial setting we translate above all technical documentation, standards, contracts and certificates for export.
Beyond Salzgitter we work across the whole region: clients from Braunschweig, Wolfsburg and Wolfenbüttel use the same digital route; Hildesheim and the state capital Hanover are reached through the same order process.
