  • Service description

    Notarisation confirms that copies, photocopies, reproductions, negatives, printouts of electronic documents or electronic documents correspond to the original.


    Signatures and hand marks on documents are notarised by authorities if the signed document is required for submission to an authority or other body to which the signed document must be submitted on the basis of a legal provision.

    If a legalisation is required for use abroad, a simple legalisation is not sufficient. In this case, see Legalisation and apostille.

  • Which documents are required?

    The document to be notarised and the original. When notarising signatures or hand signs, proof of identity (e.g. identity card or passport) and the document on which the signature or hand sign is to be notarised must be brought along.

  • What fees are incurred?

    Notarisations are generally subject to a fee. The competent authority will provide information on the amount of the fee.

  • Legal basis

    • § Section 33 of the Hessian Administrative Procedure Act - Notarisation of documents
    • § Section 34 of the Hessian Administrative Procedure Act - Authentication of signatures and hand signs

  • What else should I know?

    Official notarisation is not sufficient,

    • if public notarisation or public certification (by notaries, courts or certain authorities, e.g. the youth welfare office) is required, or
    • if the exclusive competence of a specific authority is given (e.g. civil status certificates only from the registry office, extracts from the land register only from the cadastral and surveying authorities).
