We, the undersigned, are a group of applicants facing significant difficulties due to the excessively long waiting times for the appointments to legalize documents at the German Embassy in Tehran.

According to the Embassy’s declaration, the legalization process can take several months, causing immense stress and uncertainty for applicants whose visa processing and travel plans are being severely impacted. Many Iranian and other applicants have been enduring prolonged waits, leading to significant disruptions in their lives.

The inability to obtain timely appointments is causing considerable financial and psychological hardship. Legalized documents are crucial for meeting visa application deadlines, facilitating family reunification, and maintaining employment in Germany.

We understand the Embassy is facing challenges due to high demand. Therefore, we respectfully request the following measures to streamline the appointment process:

• Increase the number of available appointments.
• Implement a transparent online appointment system.
• Extend Embassy operating hours.
• Provide accurate and up-to-date information regarding expected wait times.

We highly appreciate the Embassy’s role in fostering international relations and cultural exchange. Addressing this issue will be instrumental in supporting our personal and professional goals in Germany.

Respectfully, Please consider prioritizing this matter and taking swift action to alleviate the hardship experienced by applicants.

Thank you for your immediate attention to this pressing issue
