Wolfsburg as a business location
Home of the Volkswagen Group and part of the Hanover–Braunschweig–Göttingen–Wolfsburg metropolitan region – automotive, the supplier industry and logistics shape the demand for translation. We assign the right specialist to every job.
Around the Volkswagen AG headquarters: technical documentation, operating and workshop manuals, standards and specifications – German ⇄ English, terminologically consistent across model ranges.
For suppliers such as Sitech Sitztechnik: specifications, test and conformity documents – terminology-checked for volume export markets.
Around the Schnellecke Group: freight, customs and export papers as well as contracts for the cross-border supply chain.
For providers such as the H&D International Group and AutoVision (Volkswagen Group Services): software, process and training documents.
For the international workforce: certified translations of diplomas, transcripts and professional certificates for recognition and employment.
For authorities, courts and law firms: certified records, contracts and certificates by sworn translators.
Languages
We translate in both directions; every job goes to a native-speaker specialist who gets the regional variant right – for public authorities, a sworn translator produces the certified version. The strongest demand in Wolfsburg is for English, Polish, Italian, Spanish, Turkish and French.
Certification, apostille & responsible authorities
Wolfsburg lies within the Braunschweig Regional Court district in Lower Saxony. Who is responsible for certification and apostille depends on the type of document – with the Lower Saxony peculiarity that civil-status and administrative documents are apostilled by the police directorate, not by a regional council (Regierungspräsidium). FÜD provides the recognition-ready translation – the apostille is always issued by the competent authority, not by FÜD.
| Matter | Responsible authority for Wolfsburg | What FÜD handles / what to watch for |
|---|---|---|
| Certified translation | Fachübersetzungsdienst Wolfsburg Court-authorised translator (accepted nationwide) | We produce the certified translation with a certification note – accepted throughout Germany. |
| Apostille for court & notarial documents | President of the Regional Court (Landgericht) Braunschweig Münzstraße 17, 38100 Braunschweig | Applies e.g. to commercial-register extracts, notarial deeds, certificates of inheritance and court decisions. Translation includes the note. FÜD does not issue apostilles. |
| Apostille for civil-status & administrative documents | Braunschweig Police Directorate (Lower Saxony: not a regional council) Friedrich-Voigtländer-Straße 41, 38104 Braunschweig | In Lower Saxony the police directorate apostilles registry-office, residents'-registration and other administrative documents. We tell you whether an apostille is required and translate the note along with it. |
| Civil-status certificates (birth, marriage, death) | Wolfsburg Registry Office Porschestraße 49, 38440 Wolfsburg | 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 office of the State of Lower Saxony | Certified translation for the procedure; equivalence is decided by the competent authority. |
| Recognition of foreign professional qualifications | Competent chamber / recognition office (IHK, HWK); assessment via the ZAB where applicable | We provide the formally correct translation of your diploma, transcript and professional certificate. |
| Police clearance certificate for use abroad | Federal Office of Justice (BfJ); apostille via the Federal Office for Foreign Affairs (BfAA) Adenauerallee 99–103, 53113 Bonn | Certified translation of the police clearance certificate, incl. any apostille note. |
| Residence, naturalisation, vehicle, immigration office | Citizens' Services / Immigration Office of the City of Wolfsburg Porschestraße 49, 38440 Wolfsburg | Certified translation of the required documents – confirm the language direction and purpose in advance. |
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.
The peculiarity in Lower Saxony: for registry-office and administrative documents the responsible body is not a regional council but the Braunschweig Police Directorate, while for court and notarial documents it is the President of the Regional Court (Landgericht) Braunschweig. If you are unsure, we review your case and name the responsible body – issuing the apostille stays with the authority, not with FÜD.
We handle urgent jobs on an express basis – after a brief feasibility check we confirm a binding deadline and fixed price. For the most requested combinations we agree the delivery date with you beforehand so the right specialist is available:
Wolfsburg & the region
Wolfsburg is a young city: founded in 1938 around the newly built Volkswagen factories, it is today home to around 124,000 people and inseparably linked to the Volkswagen Group – the parent company of Audi, Porsche, Škoda, SEAT, MAN and Scania, among others. As part of the Hanover–Braunschweig–Göttingen–Wolfsburg metropolitan region, Braunschweig lies around 25 km to the south-west and Hanover around 74 km to the west. From this industrial setting we translate above all technical documentation, standards, contracts and product specifications.
Beyond Wolfsburg we work across the whole region: clients in Braunschweig, Wolfenbüttel and Celle use the same digital route; Hildesheim and the state capital Hanover are served through the same order process.
