Certification, apostille & competent authorities
Which authority in Vienna is responsible for what?
Vienna is both a city and a federal state. Who is responsible for certification and the apostille depends on the type of document. An apostille is issued solely by the competent authority; FÜD does not issue apostilles. We advise whether your destination country requires an apostille and deliver the certified translation in a form the receiving body will recognise.
| Matter | Competent authority for Vienna | What FÜD handles / what to watch for |
|---|---|---|
| Certified translation | Fachübersetzungsdienst Vienna Court-sworn & certified translator (recognised throughout Austria) | We produce the certified translation with a round stamp and certification clause – recognised in Austria under Section 14 SDG without any further legalisation. |
| Apostille for judicial & notarial documents | President of the Regional Court for Civil Matters Vienna (commercial matters: Vienna Commercial Court) | Applies to, e.g., commercial-register extracts, notarial deeds and court rulings. We translate the document including the apostille note. FÜD does not issue the apostille. |
| Apostille for other administrative & civil-status documents | Vienna City Administration (Magistrat der Stadt Wien) | We tell you whether an apostille is required and translate the apostille note along with the document. |
| Federal documents & certification for use abroad | BMEIA – Office for Consular Legalisation, Vienna | For documents issued by federal authorities we deliver the translation in a form the receiving body will recognise, including the note. |
| Civil-status documents (birth, marriage, death) | Vienna Register Office (Standesamt Wien) | We produce the certified translation of the certificate; the international (multilingual) certificate is issued directly by the register office. |
| Recognition of foreign diplomas & qualifications | The competent Austrian body (e.g. ENIC NARIC Austria/BMBWF, a chamber, a university) | Certified translation for the evaluation or recognition procedure; the competent body decides on equivalence. |
Order & responsibility
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 – so the certified translation remains fully usable in the destination country. Issuing it stays with the competent authority, not with FÜD.

Vienna & eastern Austria
Our translators for Vienna and the wider region.
As the federal capital and a corporate and financial centre with OMV, Bank Austria and Telekom Austria, Vienna has a high demand for technical, business and certified translations – from reporting and compliance documents through tender submissions to contracts and certificates.
As an international seat of government and UN city, there is at the same time strong demand for certified documents and diplomas for authorities, courts and recognition procedures. We also work regularly for clients in Graz, Linz, Salzburg and Innsbruck. For every task we deploy a specialist with the right subject background – not the nearest generalist.
