Certification, apostille & responsible authorities
Which authority in Ulm is responsible for what?
Ulm lies in Baden-Württemberg, in the Tübingen 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 Ulm | What FÜD handles / what to watch for |
|---|---|---|
| Certified translation | Fachübersetzungsdienst Ulm Court-authorised (sworn) translator (accepted nationwide) | We produce the certified translation with a certification note – accepted throughout Germany. |
| Apostille for civil-status & administrative documents | Regierungspräsidium Tübingen (Tübingen Regional Council) (for documents issued within the Tübingen administrative district) Konrad-Adenauer-Straße 20, 72072 Tübingen | 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 Ulm Olgastraße 106, 89073 Ulm | Applies e.g. to commercial-register extracts, notarial deeds and court decisions. Translation includes the note. |
| Civil-status certificates (birth, marriage, death) | Ulm registry office (Standesamt) Marktplatz 1, 89073 Ulm | 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 (BW certificate-recognition office) | 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 Ulm, 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 registration, immigration office | Citizen services / immigration office of the City of Ulm or the Alb-Donau district Olgastraße 66, 89073 Ulm | 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.

Ulm & Danube–Iller
Ulm and our translators.
Ulm sits on the Danube at the border with Bavaria and, together with neighbouring Neu-Ulm across the river, forms a cross-state regional centre of the Danube–Iller area. The birthplace of Albert Einstein, home to the tallest church steeple in the world, is today above all a logistics, science and technology hub: the group headquarters of Dachser SE, the Nagel Group, Seeberger and a strong research cluster around the University of Ulm and the science city shape the economy.
Beyond Ulm we are active throughout the Danube–Iller region and further afield: clients from Augsburg, Aalen and Reutlingen use the same digital route; the state capital Stuttgart and the university town of Tübingen are reached through the same order process.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions about certified translations in Ulm.
Do you offer certified translations in Ulm?
Yes. For authorities, courts and public offices in Ulm, court-authorised (sworn) 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 Ulm?
Not FÜD. For civil-status and administrative documents (e.g. birth, marriage and death certificates from Ulm registry office) the Regierungspräsidium Tübingen (Tübingen Regional Council) is responsible; the document must have been issued within the Tübingen administrative district. For court and notarial documents, the President of the Regional Court (Landgericht) of Ulm is responsible. We tell you whether and where you need an apostille and translate the apostille note along with it.
Do I have to come to Ulm 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. Ulm has a local point for document drop-off – in-person submission is possible by appointment.
Do you also translate specialist texts for Ulm companies and the university?
Yes. For machinery and commercial-vehicle engineering, the science city and research, professional translators with the right background handle technical, scientific and legal texts – from technical documentation to export contracts.
Will my certificate translation be accepted for recognition in Baden-Württemberg?
A certified translation by sworn translators meets the formal requirements of the recognising authorities. The substantive equivalence of a foreign qualification is decided by the competent recognition body (e.g. Regierungspräsidium Stuttgart for school qualifications, the relevant chamber for regulated professions).

The price depends on length, subject area, language direction and deadline – for orientation, 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, PDF in advance and postal dispatch.
