Enforcement hub
Where a Germany judgment can be enforced
This page collects the routes for taking a German judgment or arbitral award and enforcing it elsewhere. It does not name the competent foreign court; that sits on the target-country pair page. Documents issued in Germany for use abroad generally need an apostille, in force for Germany since 13 February 1966, rather than full legalization. Below: the refusal category for unenforced judgments and asset-specific pages.
