German term
Postille
German to English

Law (general)
Es geht um Personenüberprüfungen gemäß Luftsicherheitsgesetz
Dieses Zeugnis (über die Zuverläßigkeit der Antragsteller)kann eine so genannte Straffreiheitserklärung (Postille) sein, aus der hervor geht, dass gegen den Antragsteller keine Strafverfahren in dem Aufenthaltsstaat anhängig waren
Ich habe mir überlegt, Postille einfach in Anführungszeichen stehen zu lassen, da ich auch auf deutschen Webseiten keine Hinweise fand, was dieses Wort eigentlich bedeutet.
Hat jemand eine bessere Idee?

: An apostille is a consular authentication of documents sent abroad, taking the place of a consular certificate and in this context is in no way relted to Postille

Strafverfahren im "Aufenthaltsstaat". So why the disagree?

| agree |
Derek Gill Franßen
: I also don't understand why Karin disagreed with you Nicole - "Postille" is wrong here (IMHO); it should read "Apostille". The only thing I'd change is the capitalization - after doing some research, it seems it is most often capitalized. :-)

Yes, I have seen it capitalized, too. Thank you, Derek!

Thankyou very much, Johanna - and for your explanation below.

Derek Gill Franßen
: Yes to your explanation, but would you also put this in brackets? Or would you just use "Apostille"? I'm obviously (= conflict of interest on the grounds of also having offered a suggestion - see http://www.proz.com/topic/38529) for the latter. ;-)

Both, I reckon! There appears to be so much confusion about the term - also in the Leo forum - that some sort of explanation for mere mortals would certainly not be amiss.

I would be tempted to leave it as is, except that the English reader
may be baffled by this term and prefers something more explcit.

German term (edited):
Postille = mit Apostille
with Apostille
I have the feeling that this is something like a mistake and should've read like this: "Straffreiheitserklärung (mit Apostille)".

signature certification/authentication
I'm with Frosty on this one! Since the link I provided above does not seem to be clickable, so I'm posting my findings here; but it's really just an Agree to his answer ;)
In 1961 many nations joined to create a simplified method of “legalizing” documents for universal recognition. This group of nations is known as the Hague Convention. They adopted a document referred to as an APOSTILLE that is internationally recognized by all member nations.
Bescheinigung der zuständigen Behörde des ausländischen Wohnortlandes (entsprechend dem Landeskriminalamt in der BRD), dass keine Erkenntnisse über Straftaten vorliegen;
2. Beglaubigung der Echtheit der Unterschrift des Beamten durch übergeordnete Behörde(n) im ausländischen Wohnortland (in Deutschland “Apostille“ genannt);

What is an Apostille? (a-pos-teal)
An Apostille is the certification required for a document intended for use in a country that's party to the Hague convention.
What is the difference between legalization and authentication?
Legalization is the certification by the foreign embassy or consulate of the country where the document will be used. An Authentication is the official signature certification process of the U.S. Department of State. Some state and county offices also refer to their certification process as an authentication. Authentication can be accomplished by a Notary, Clerk of the Court, and/or the Department of State, depending on what the foreign country requires.

: Yes to your explanation, but why not just correct the typo in the original (it's definitely not "Postille" - IMHO) and use "Apostille" in the translation - it's standard jargon (I've seen it used on many English docs meant for German authorities)? ;-)

ja, den Tippfehler hätte ich natürlich erwähnen sollen, ich war nur zu fixiert darauf, zu erklären was es eigentlich ist ;)
