Authentication and Notarization

icon_notary

 

 

The Philippine Embassy, through its consular section, performs authentication/notarization for documents that are to be used in the Philippines. Please be informed that the documents can be handed in personally or sent to us by post.

They do need to undergo a so called chain authentication (Vienna Convention, 1963) which requires the documents to be pre-authenticated before they are sent/given to us.

 

Overview of Chain Authentication

Authentication Table

IMPORTANT          

  • All Documents need to be bilingual (with a built-in English translation) or translated by a licensed translator (vereidigter Übersetzer)                                                      
  • Incomplete or incorrect documents may be sent back  
  • Applicants must submit the original document together with one (1) photocopy for the Embassy’s file

Next Steps

Once the documents have been pre-authenticated and can be authenticated by us (Red-Ribbon), the following steps need to be taken:

If handing in and picking up the documents personally, please provide:

  • Payment of €22.50 in cash per document
  • One (1) photocopy for the Embassy’s file

Express processing: If an applicant will apply PERSONALLY at the Philippine Embassy in Berlin, you pay an additional fee of €9.00 (per document), so that the said document for authentication or notarization may be processed and released ON THE NEXT WORKING DAY.  Applicants may consider coming back to the Embassy to personally receive the document or have it mailed back to them.  Due to the increased work load, we regret that express processing CANNOT BE DONE ON THE SAME DAY.

No express processing will be entertained for authentication or notarization of professional labor or employment contracts and manpower agreements.

Kindly inquire with the Honorary Consulates if express processing is possible. 

If sending the documents by post, please add:

  • Proof of payment (Überweisungsbeleg) of €22.50 per document
  • One (1) photocopy for the Embassy’s file
  • Self-addressed envelope with €3.95 in stamps that will be used to send back your documents
