In the U.S., the equivalent is often a notarized single-status affidavit apostilled by the California SOS. Your local Standesamt specifies the exact checklist.<\/p><\/details>\n  <details><summary>Do I need a German translation for my apostilled California document?<\/summary><p>Yes, in most proceedings. German authorities require documents in German. A beeidigter \u00dcbersetzer (sworn translator) certified by a German court or authority is typically required.<\/p><\/details>\n  <details><summary>Can the California Secretary of State apostille an FBI background check for a German visa?<\/summary><p>No. FBI Identity History Summary documents are federal records authenticated by the U.S. Department of State in Washington D.C.
