Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to kindly request an appointment at the German Embassy in Colombo to legalize my Sri Lankan marriage certificate, which has already been attested by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Sri Lanka. I am currently preparing my family reunification visa application for Germany and understand that legalization by your embassy is required in place of an apostille. Please let me know the available dates and any documents I should bring for the appointment. Thank you very much for your assistance. Best regards, P.G.P.C.Wickramasinghe Passport No: N6812314 Phone: +37066201387 Email: [Your Email Address]
