Germany Attestation from Pakistan for work and study
Germany accepts the MOFA apostille in principle, but some German authorities have objected to Pakistani apostilles in the past. We verify the current position before filing. Most Pakistani degrees also need a certified German translation before a university or employer will process them.
Germany and the apostille
Germany is a Hague Apostille member. Some German authorities have historically objected to Pakistani apostilles under Article 12(2) of the Convention, so we confirm the current acceptance position with the receiving office before filing. Most Pakistani degrees and certificates for Germany receive HEC or NADRA verification followed by a MOFA apostille. Employers and universities may ask for a certified German translation as well.
