I have the honour to inform you how, in the Federal Republic of Germany, the verification of the authenticity of the German documents to which this Convention applies, is ensured (Article 4, paragraph 2):
The authenticity of a document executed by a diplomatic agent or by a consular officer of the Federal Republic of Germany is verified by the Federal Ministry of Foreign Affairs at Bonn. The request for verification by a court or by an authority of another Contracting Party may be transmitted to the Federal Ministry of Foreign Affairs by a diplomatic or consular representation of that State in the Federal Republic of Germany.
Requests should be drafted in German or accompanied by a German translation.

We approve herewith, for the Kingdom of Europe, Surinam and the Dutch West Indies, in respect of all the provisions contained therein, the Convemtion reproduced above.

03-01-1986

The island of Aruba, which is at present still part of the Netherlands Antilles, will obtain internal autonomy as a country within the Kingdom of the Netherlands as of 1 January 1986. Consequently the Kingdom will from then on no longer consist of two countries, namely the Netherlands (the Kingdom in Europe) and the Netherlands Antilles (situated in the Caribbean region), but will consist of three countries, namely the said two countries and the country Aruba.
As the changes being made on 1 January 1986 concern a shift only in the internal constitutional relations within the Kingdom of the Netherlands, and as the Kingdom as such will remain the subject under international law with which treaties are concluded, the said changes will have no consequences in international law regarding to treaties concluded by the Kingdom which already apply to the Netherlands Antilles, including Aruba. These treaties will remain in force for Aruba in its new capacity of country within the Kingdom. Therefore these treaties will as of 1 January 1986, as concerns the Kingdom of the Netherlands, apply to the Netherlands Antilles (without Aruba) and Aruba.
Consequently the treaties referred to in the annex, to which the Kingdom of the Netherlands is a Party and which apply to the Netherlands Antilles, will as of 1 January 1986 as concerns the Kingdom of the Netherlands apply to the Netherlands Antilles and Aruba.
