Certification, apostille & responsible authorities
Which authority in Unna is responsible for what?
Unna lies in North Rhine-Westphalia, in the Unna district, Arnsberg administrative region (Regierungsbezirk Arnsberg). 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 Unna | What FÜD handles / what to watch for |
|---|---|---|
| Certified translation | Fachübersetzungsdienst Unna Court-authorised translator (accepted nationwide) | We produce the certified translation with a certification note – accepted throughout Germany. |
| Apostille for civil-status & administrative documents | Arnsberg Regional Government (Bezirksregierung Arnsberg) Seibertzstraße 1, 59821 Arnsberg | We tell you whether an apostille is required and translate the apostille note along with it. FÜD does not issue apostilles. |

Order 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 tell you the responsible authority – issuing it stays with the authority, not with FÜD.

Unna & the Hellweg region
Unna and our translators.
The city of our Unna translators has around 65,000 inhabitants. It lies on the edge of the Sauerland and belongs to the Hellweg district (Hellwegbörde); its highest point is the Hemmerder Schelk, 220 metres above sea level. Within the city there are both rural areas and former mining settlements, similar to those found at the centre of the Ruhr region. Industrialisation reached Unna around 1870: coal mining began, and with it other trades became necessary, such as mechanical engineering and metalworking. Brickworks and breweries also settled here, and the waterworks and gasworks date from this period too. Mining came to a halt in the 1960s. In October 1900, the Bismarck Tower of Unna was inaugurated in Fröndenberg – a tower nearly 20 metres high, built from ashlar stones taken from the medieval city wall at Unna's Heringer Gate and from sandstone quarried nearby. Thanks to a local support association, the tower was restored in 2008 and reopened to the public the following year.
Beyond Unna we work across the whole eastern Ruhr region and the Hellweg region: clients from Dortmund, Hamm, Bochum and Witten use the same digital route; Iserlohn and Hagen also go through the same order process.
