Certifications
The official seal (top left image) must be visible on all sides. For this purpose, the corners are folded over, the pages are laid on top of each other in an offset manner and stamped with the official seal. In this case, the declaration of certification and the signature of the certifying person on only one page is sufficient.
A notary certifies with string and embossed seal. Also in this case, the declaration and the signature of the notary on only one page is also sufficient.
We cannot recognise certifications by translators.
Where and from whom can I get certified copies
Certifications outside Germany:

We do not recognise certifications from the following offices:
Church organisations (e.g. parish offices), interpreters, health insurance companies, banks or the AStA.
