    Have your identity document, details of the record and any evidence of entitlement ready. Specify whether you need a copy or extract and its destination. For use abroad, ask whether legalisation or an apostille is actually required; the city links the federal eLegalisation service. If your document needs an FPS Foreign Affairs legalisation or apostille, the federal fee has been €25 per legalisation or apostille since 1 August 2026. This is separate from any municipal certificate fee; check whether your document and destination actually require it.
