Who issues it, who apostilles it

Issued by

Independent German notary (signature certification or deed)

Apostille by

President of the Landgericht of the notary’s district

Where a Germany power of attorney with apostille is accepted

Not accepted in Algeria, Bangladesh, Burundi, Dominican Republic, India, Kosovo, Liberia, Mongolia, Morocco, Pakistan, Philippines, Rwanda, Senegal, Tajikistan, Tunisia, Uzbekistan, and Vietnam (Article 12 objection) – documents for these countries are legalised or verified instead.

What we need from you

  • Draft text or the recipient’s template (we can draft a bilingual version)
  • Valid passport or ID card of the signatory
  • Destination country and, if known, the requirements of the recipient
  • Optional: sworn translation into the target language

The recipient normally needs the power of attorney in its own language. We draft bilingual texts so that a separate translation is often unnecessary; otherwise a sworn translation is added.

Germany power of attorney apostille: questions

President of the Landgericht of the notary’s district. Issued by: Independent German notary (signature certification or deed)

Yes. The apostille must be issued in Germany, but you do not have to be there: we organise a suitable original where possible, the submission to the competent authority and delivery of the apostilled power of attorney anywhere. The notary reviews your application first.

An Article 12 objection is in force between Germany and Algeria, Bangladesh, Burundi, Dominican Republic, India, Kosovo, Liberia, Mongolia, Morocco, Pakistan, Philippines, Rwanda, Senegal, Tajikistan, Tunisia, Uzbekistan, and Vietnam; documents for these countries are legalised or verified instead. Non-Convention countries such as the UAE, Qatar and Kuwait always need legalisation.

The HCCH record lists: Fees are set on the basis of the value of the certificate. The costs incurred by the applicant are between a minimum of €10 and a maximum of  €130. On average the fees amount to between between 12 Euros and 40 Euros.. Official fees are passed through 1:1 and shown separately in your quote.

In most countries yes – the notary must witness your signature and identify you. Remote online notarisation exists in many US states, Estonia and a few others, and Austrian notaries offer video certification for documents used abroad. We book the appointment; the signing itself takes ten minutes.

Yes. Notaries in most countries certify signatures on documents in any language, as long as they can identify the document type. We prepare bilingual texts so that both the notary and the foreign recipient can read them.

The authority responsible for notarial documents in the notary’s country – the Landgericht in Germany, the Secretary of State in the US, the notarial college in Spain, the prefecture or procura in Italy. In some US states the county clerk must authenticate the notary first.
