In certain cases, the mother's consent to the acknowledgment of paternity is also required. In some foreign countries, as well as in Germany, establishing joint parental custody also requires submission of a Sorgeerklärung (declaration of joint parental custody). • Personalausweise (identity cards) or passports of the child's parents, and of the applicant if applicable • Certified translation or Überbeglaubigung (further authentication) Documents in a foreign language generally require a certified German translation and, if applicable, further authentication (apostille or legalization). • Whether further documents are required depends on the individual case If the submission of further documents or proof is required, you will receive notification of this after processing has begun.
