Apostille
Official German certificates are generally recognized abroad only if their authenticity has been confirmed by the representation of the respective country in the Federal Republic of Germany (legalization).
Under the Hague Convention Abolishing the Requirement of Legalization for Foreign Public Documents, a simplified form of authentication, known as an apostille, replaces legalization in the countries that have signed the Convention. This is issued by the government of Middle Franconia.
Before you can be issued an apostille, you require what is known as prior certification (Vorbeglaubigung) from the University.
