Processing Time

Germany Apostille – Processing Timelines

Document Type Standard TAT Notes
Educational & Personal (Birth, Marriage, Degree, PCC) 4–6 working days Apostilles are provided by authorized governmental entities in the different federal states (Land) in Germany. For educational certificates, the federal state authority can only provide an apostille once the certificate has been ratified by the relevant regional education authority or education examination board. For personal documents, such as a birth or marriage certificate, you will typically need some kind of ratification from a local government registry office (Standesamt) or similar office before that local governmental authority can provide the apostille.
Commercial & Business Documents 5–8 working days Corporate documents, powers of attorneyand extracts from the trade registry (Handelsregisterauszug) must be notarized and sometimes pre-certified by the chamber of commerce, as German corporate documentation has historically required additional verification. Only then, after the relevant corporate documentation has been notarized and sometimes pre-certified can the apostille be issued by the competent state authority.
In 2024, in Germany, more than 65% of the apostille requests were for educational or personal documents, while the requests for commercial documents grew by 18%. Indian nationals comprised close to 12% of the educational apostille requests, which is on par for being the fifth or sixth largest demographic group of foreign individuals submitting educational apostille requests in Germany.
