Certification, apostille & responsible authorities
Which authority in Wismar is responsible for what?
Wismar is in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. 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 Wismar | What FÜD handles / what to watch for |
|---|---|---|
| Certified translation | Fachübersetzungsdienst Wismar Court-authorised translator (accepted nationwide) | We produce the certified translation with a certification note – accepted throughout Germany. |
| Apostille for civil-status & administrative documents | Ministry of the Interior and Construction of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania (Ministerium für Inneres und Bau), Schwerin Alexandrinenstraße 1, 19055 Schwerin | 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 Schwerin Demmlerplatz 1–2, 19053 Schwerin | 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) Wismar Am Markt 1, 23966 Wismar | We translate the certificate as a certified translation; the international (multilingual) certificate is available directly from the registry office. |
| Recognition of foreign school certificates | Ministry of Education of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania (certificate recognition) | Certified translation for the recognition procedure; equivalence is decided by the competent authority. |
| Recognition of foreign professional & university qualifications | Competent chamber / recognition body (IHK, HWK) or the ZAB | 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 | Immigration Office of the District of Nordwestmecklenburg Rostocker Straße 76, 23970 Wismar | 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 check your case and name the responsible authority – issuing it itself stays with the authority, not with FÜD.

Wismar & the Baltic coast
Wismar and our translators.
The Hanseatic town of Wismar, on the western Baltic coast, has protected its old town as a UNESCO World Heritage Site together with Stralsund since 2002. The location is shaped by naval and commercial shipbuilding, the wood-based-materials and sawmill industries, and the seaport through which timber, steel, scrap metal and building materials are shipped.
Beyond Wismar we are active along the western Baltic coast: clients from the state capital Schwerin, from Rostock and nearby Lübeck use the same digital order process; Hamburg and Stralsund are served through it too.
