Whether it’s for a commercial register filing, an entry in the land register, or the use of important documents in Germany or abroad, in many legal and business matters, certification by a civil-law notary is required by law.

As a civil-law notary in Wiesbaden, I provide prompt, legally compliant, and accurate certifications of signatures and copies—for individuals, businesses, and public authorities.

What is notarial certification?

In notarial certification, the content of a document is not notarized; instead, the notary confirms the authenticity of a signature or that a copy matches the original.

There are two types of notarial certification:

• Certification of a signature: The notary confirms the authenticity of the signature submitted by an individual claiming it as theirs.
• Certified copy: The notary confirms that a copy matches the original document.

These notarial certifications are required in many legal contexts, especially for commercial register and land register matters.

Notarial certification for the commercial register

For many commercial register filings—such as forming a GmbH, appointing or removing directors, updating company details, or registering new shareholders—an officially notarized signature is required.

As a civil-law notary, I undertake the notarial certification of commercial register filings and, on request, will submit them electronically to the relevant local court.

Notarial certification for the land register

In land register proceedings—for example, when canceling a land charge, filing a subordination agreement, or registering a priority notice of conveyance—notarial certification of a signature or declaration is often required.

As a civil-law notary in Wiesbaden, I will assist you with all notarial certifications for land register matters and submit the documents directly to the relevant land registry office.

Example 1: Commercial register filing for a change of director

A company based in Wiesbaden appoints a new director. The commercial register filing must be certified by a civil-law notary. The new director comes to my office in person and signs the prepared registration form in my presence; I then certify the authenticity of the signature in my capacity as civil-law notary. I then file the registration electronically with the commercial register—quickly, securely, and on time.

Example 2: Cancellation of a land charge after full repayment of a mortgage

A couple from Wiesbaden-Bierstadt has repaid their mortgage in full. The bank issues a certificate of cancellation. The owners must sign it and have their signatures certified by a civil-law notary before it can be filed with the Wiesbaden land registry office for cancellation of the land charge. I handle the notarial certification and submission to the land registry office.
