    How to order in three steps

    1. Open the calculator with Germany already selected, then choose your languages and delivery speed.
    2. Upload a clear scan or photo of the document and add your details.
    3. Place the order. We send the invoice afterwards and start once it is paid.
    The receiving authority decides what it accepts. Check its current requirements before you order, and pick Germany as the country of use so the certification options match.

    Need it notarised or apostilled too?

    We can also notarise documents and arrange an apostille for use in Germany. Book a notary meeting online.
