Which German document needs an apostille?
A German Marriage Certificate is often needed when a marriage registered in Germany must be proven abroad.
Not every foreign authority requires the same form of Marriage Certificate. Depending on the purpose, a recently issued copy, a specific document form or an additional document may be required.
If your name changed through marriage, the Marriage Certificate may be especially important for foreign authorities. Whether additional proof is required depends on the specific procedure.
Some procedures may require additional documents, such as other civil status records or specific certificates. We review your order based on your information and clarify special cases with you in advance.
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.
