What is an Apostille?

An Apostille is a form of authentication that certifies the authenticity of documents for international legal transactions. It is recognized by countries that are signatories to the Hague Convention of 1961. Typically, an apostille is required when official documents such as birth certificates, marriage certificates, diplomas, or contracts need to be presented abroad.

At beglaubigt.de, the process for applying for an apostille is simple and fully digital:

Why is an apostille needed?

An apostille is required to recognize official documents in international legal transactions. It confirms the authenticity of a document issued in one country and ensures that it is legally recognized in another country that is part of the Hague Convention of 1961.

Typical use cases for an apostille include:

  • Marriage abroad: You may need an apostille for birth certificates or certificates of no impediment.
  • Studying or working abroad: Academic degrees, diplomas, or certificates often need to be apostilled.
  • International business contracts: Contracts and notarial documents require an apostille to be legally recognized in other countries.
  • Immigration or residence permits: An apostille may be necessary for official documents related to visa applications or permanent residence permits.

With an apostille, documents from authorities are recognized abroad without the need for further legalization.
