Which German document needs an apostille?
An apostille is commonly required when German educational documents must be presented to foreign authorities or institutions.
School certificates, vocational training certificates and university diplomas may be processed by different German authorities depending on the document type. We determine the correct authority during order processing.
An apostille confirms the authenticity of the public document or certification — not the academic or professional recognition of your qualification abroad.
An apostille does not replace the recognition of a professional or academic qualification. Whether additional recognition is required depends on the destination country or employer.
One fixed price for the apostille.
Additional steps may be required depending on the document. We can take care of these for you as separate services.
For certain documents, pre-certification (Vorbeglaubigung) by the competent authority or institution is required before the apostille can be issued. This particularly applies to Certificates of Conduct, school and university certificates, diplomas and certain medical documents; in individual cases, civil-status documents may also require an additional preliminary step. We take care of this for you.
