Germany university degree & transcript apostille: questions
State administrative apostille office, usually after pre-certification by the university or ministry (Vorbeglaubigung). Issued by: University, Hochschule or school
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 university degree & transcript 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.
Both are possible in most countries and mandatory in some: the US, the UK and Canada apostille a notarised copy or a notarised registrar statement, not the diploma itself. Apostilling the original is safest for licensing bodies; a copy keeps the original with you. We recommend the route for your recipient.
Apostille authorities keep signature specimens of the officials whose documents they certify. Universities have too many signatories, so many countries require the university or its ministry to confirm the signature first – Vorbeglaubigung in Germany, NAWA in Poland, HEC in Pakistan, CHED in the Philippines, HRD in India. We obtain this confirmation as part of the service.
Not directly. The apostille requires an original signature or a certified printout from the examination office. We request a certified version from the university on your behalf.
