APOSTILLE - WHAT THIS? WHICH OF YOUR DOCUMENTS MUST HAVE AN APOSTILLE
You need Apostille for the German national visa for your family (spouse/kids)
Apostille (also "Hague apostille") - what this?
The “Hague apostille” confirms the authenticity of a public document, the original of which must be submitted to the designated authority. The “Hague apostille” is issued by designated authorities of the state which issued the document. It is not necessary to contact the German mission in that country.
Where to get issued an apostille?
The main organization for issuing apostilles is the Ministry of Justice. Contact the regional office of the Ministry of Justice in your city.
If you have trouble finding it, try following options:
- Registry Office;
- a Notary;
- Google / other search engine;
TO-DO:
1. Call the Registry Office and ask where your document can be apostilled.
2. Call the notary and ask the following questions:
- about the cost of apostilization,
- about the length of time it will take,
- which documents you need to have with you (apostilled document, passport, what else...?)
3. Google and find some local commercial organisations, i.e. translation agencies, that help to get apostil. Ask the same questions.
Compare the answers and make your choice.
