Why Apostille Documents for Germany
If you need to use a UK document in Germany for an Anmeldung, marriage at the Standesamt, employment, university enrolment or family-law matter, it will need an Apostille certificate. UK birth and marriage certificates, academic documents and degree certificates are the most commonly apostilled UK documents for German use.
Germany is a member of the Hague Apostille Convention, with the Convention having entered into force in 1966. Once your UK document has been apostilled by the FCDO, no further attestation at the German Embassy is needed for the document to be accepted by German authorities.
