Certification, apostille & responsible authorities
Which authority in Weimar is responsible for what?
Weimar is in Thuringia. 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 Weimar | What FÜD handles / what to watch for |
|---|---|---|
| Certified translation | Fachübersetzungsdienst Weimar Court-authorised translator (accepted nationwide) | We produce the certified translation with a certification note – accepted throughout Germany. |
| Apostille for civil-status & administrative documents | Thuringian State Administration Office (Weimar) Weimarplatz 4, 99423 Weimar | 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 Erfurt Juri-Gagarin-Ring 105–107, 99084 Erfurt | 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) Weimar | We translate the certificate as a certified translation; the international (multilingual) certificate is available directly from the registry office. |
| Recognition of foreign school certificates | Competent recognition authority in Thuringia (higher-education degrees: ZAB of the KMK) | Certified translation for the recognition procedure; equivalence is decided by the competent authority. |
| Recognition of foreign professional qualifications | Competent chamber / recognition authority (e.g. IHK Erfurt or the Chamber of Crafts Erfurt) | 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 | Certified translation of the police clearance certificate, incl. any apostille note. |
| Residence, naturalisation, vehicle registration, immigration office | Citizens' service / Immigration Office of the City of Weimar | Certified translation of the required documents – confirm the language direction and purpose in advance. |
The 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 check your case and name the responsible authority – issuing it stays with the authority, not with FÜD.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions about certified translations in Weimar.
Do you offer certified translations in Weimar?
Yes. For authorities, courts and public offices in Weimar, 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 Weimar?
Not FÜD. For civil-status and administrative documents (e.g. birth, marriage and death certificates from the Weimar registry office), the Thuringian State Administration Office (Weimar) is responsible. For court and notarial documents, the President of the Regional Court (Landgericht) of Erfurt 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 Weimar 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. Weimar has a local drop-off point for documents – in-person submission is possible by appointment.
Do you also translate specialist texts for Weimar institutions and the university?
Yes. For cultural and educational institutions, Bauhaus-Universität Weimar and the healthcare sector, professional translators with the right background translate scientific, legal and technical texts – from the publication to the certificate.
Will my certificate translation be accepted for recognition in Thuringia?
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 responsible recognition authority in Thuringia (for foreign higher-education degrees the ZAB of the KMK, for regulated professions the competent chamber).
What does a translation in Weimar cost?
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.
