Information on certification

The documents attached to the application for admission must be translated into either English or German and be certified photocopies. Any public office that has an official seal may certify the copies. This includes government offices (Einwohnermeldeamt in cities), parish offices, and notaries. Certification cannot be performed by banks, lawyers, auditors, bookkeepers, or clubs. Notarised certification may also be used.
Minimum requirements for official certification are:

1. a stamp that certifies that the copy corresponds to the original (certification),
2. the signature of the certifier, and
3. the imprint of the official seal. A seal usually contains an emblem. A simple stamp is not adequate.

If the copy consists of several separate sheets, then it must be demonstrated that each page comes from the same document. Should the certification seal and the signature appear on only one page, then the pages must be placed together, stapled, and then stamped so that each page receives part of the impression of the seal.
Each page can also be certified separately. In this case please make sure that each page of the original contains your name. If it is not given on each page, then it must be included in the certification along with an indication of the document type.
If there is a copy on the front and back of each sheet of paper, then the certification seal must also include both sides of the paper (e.g. "I hereby certify that the front and back pages of this copy correspond to the original.") If this is not the case, then the front and back pages must be certified separately. If the certification does not fulfil the above standards, your documents cannot be recognised.
