I just stumbled across this page researching parallel structures to German "Beglaubigung" (http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beglaubigung#Abschriften), which refers to this article in English. I suspect a more correct link might lead to the article on certified copies (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Certified_copy), but seeing as I'm no legal expert I'd appreciate any input. thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Goalley (talk • contribs) 15:38, 4 December 2013 (UTC)
- Can you describe what a Beglaubigung is, and what it is for? Jc3s5h (talk) 16:32, 4 December 2013 (UTC)
- A The term "Beglaubigung" in Germany describes the process when a body of public authority such as a clerk in a town hall certifies that a copy of an official document (school leaving certificate, university diplomas, certificate of birth etc.) is true to its original. For a "Beglaubigung" to be carried out, you need to present the original document at the body of authority, have it copied, compared, stamped with an official stamp/seal, dated, signed by an official, and pay a low fee. As far as I can see, this corresponds to a certified copy. There's also the term "notarielle Beglaubigung", which needs to be carried out by a notary and is different form a "normal" Beglaubigung. Many thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Goalley (talk • contribs) 12:24, 18 December 2013 (UTC)
- This is also what I thought. I have moved the Wikidata links formerly associated with this page to certified copy. The acknoledgement described in this article looks like a certified declaration of will, whereas the interwiki articles referred to the general act of certifying a true copy of the original or certifying certain deed.
