NARA Records Apostille for Germany

How to authenticate a National Archives (NARA) Records for use in Germany: the exact route, translation requirements, and full-service handling from West Palm Beach.

Germany accepts an apostille.

Your NARA Records needs one certificate from the U.S. Department of State to be valid in Germany — no embassy step.

Sending a NARA Records to Germany — commonly for work permits, marriage registration, residency — requires authenticating the document so Germany authorities accept it. Because Germany is a Hague Convention member, the route is a single apostille. Here is exactly what applies to this document and destination.
