Documents for Germany: legalization and translation
Studying, working, marrying or settling in Germany, or need to file a document from Germany in Peru? We tell you the exact procedure and handle it for you.
Apostille
Germany is party to the 1961 Hague Convention, so Peruvian public documents are legalized with an apostille from Peru's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and documents from Germany with an apostille from the competent authority in Germany.
Peruvian documents for use in Germany
- Obtaining the document (if you don't have it, we request it for you).
- Apostille of the original at Peru's Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
- Certified translation into the language required in Germany, including the apostille.
- Digital delivery and/or shipping of the originals to Germany.

Documents issued in Germany must carry an apostille from Germany. If they are not in Spanish, they are filed in Peru with a certified or official translation. We handle the translation and, if needed, the apostille at source.

Requirements may change and vary by institution. We always verify the current procedure before starting your case.
Frequently asked questions
Is the translation done before or after the apostille for Germany?
Usually the original is apostilled first and then everything is translated, including the apostille. Some institutions in Germany ask for the reverse order; we confirm before starting.
Can I do everything from abroad?
Yes. Many clients contact us from Germany. We request, legalize and translate your Peruvian documents and ship them to you.
