Certification, apostille & responsible authorities
Which authority in Solingen is responsible for what?
Solingen is in North Rhine-Westphalia, Düsseldorf administrative district. 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 Solingen | What FÜD handles / what to watch for |
|---|---|---|
| Certified translation | Fachübersetzungsdienst Solingen Sworn translator (accepted nationwide) | We produce the certified translation with a certification note – accepted throughout Germany. |
| Apostille for civil-status & administrative documents | Düsseldorf Regional Government (Bezirksregierung Düsseldorf) (for documents issued in the Düsseldorf administrative district) 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 Wuppertal Regional Court (Landgericht Wuppertal) Eiland 1, 42103 Wuppertal | Applies e.g. to commercial-register extracts, notarial deeds and court decisions. Translation includes the note. |
| Civil-status certificates (birth, marriage, death) | Solingen registry office (Standesamt) Walter-Scheel-Platz 1, 42651 Solingen | We translate the certificate as a certified translation; the international (multilingual) certificate is available directly from the registry office. |
| Recognition of foreign school certificates | Düsseldorf Regional Government (certificate recognition NRW) | Certified translation for the recognition procedure; equivalence is decided by the competent authority. |
| Recognition of foreign professional qualifications | Responsible 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. |
| Residence, naturalisation, vehicle, immigration office | Citizen services / immigration office of the City of Solingen Gasstraße 22, 42657 Solingen | Certified translation of the required documents – confirm the language direction and purpose in advance. |
Order of 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.
