In contracting states of the Hague Convention Abolishing the Requirement of Legalization for Foreign Public Documents of October 5, 1961, the legalization is replaced by the so-called Hague Apostille.
The apostille confirms the authenticity of the signature and, if applicable, the seal of the signatory as well as their authority to issue the document. The original of the certificate must be presented for this purpose. For German documents, the apostille is issued by a designated German authority (see below). It is not necessary for the diplomatic mission of the state in which the document is to be used to be involved. In the following list you can see the countries to which the agreement applies in relation to Germany:
