DECLARATION OF CONSENT
Last Name, First Name:____________________________________________
1. DECLARATION OF CONSENT REGARDING DATA PRIVACY
Within the context of visa applications regarding foreign spouses relocating to Germany (Ehegattennachzug), the Goethe certificate A1
(or any higher certificate) is recognized by German embassies and consulates as proof of basic German language skills that are
required by respective visa regulations. In order to check the authenticity of handed in certificates, the responsible German
representation abroad can receive names, exam results and certificate numbers of examinees who took the exam intending to use the
certificate within their visa application and who passed the exam.
By signing this declaration of consent, examinees agree to their personal data being forwarded to the responsible German
representation abroad. With immediate effect, examinees can officially retract from their declaration of consent at any time.
The declaration of consent is optional. In case of not signing or revoking it, examinees need to proof their certificate’s authenticity to the
visa issuing authorities in other adequate ways if there is skepticism regarding the document’s genuineness, which, in this case, cannot
be verified by the Goethe-Intitut’s data.
To this effect, the examinee declares the following:
“I hereby grant a permit to the Goethe-Jinchuang language learning center in Shanghai to forward my personal data (i.e. my name, my
exam results and my certificate number), in case I pass the exam, to the German embassy / the German General Consulate in
____________, to be used for inspection within the context of my visa application process.”

Furthermore, I consent to the use of my Data by the Exam Center and the Goethe Institute for purposes exceeding those outlined in the

limited to, information about new course offerings at the Exam Center or the Goethe Institute. Such Information will be sent to me in the
mail using the postal address I provided - and if I stipulate - may also be transmitted to me via telephone, fax, e-mail and/or text

Data concerning the exams I have taken may also be transmitted to the Goethe Institute for storage and use in the central examination
archives (for a maximum period of 10 years) and used for verification purposes and to issue replacement certificates, as required. To
the extent that the Data relates to exams, which entitle my foreign spouse to subsequently immigrate to Germany, I hereby authorize the
Goethe Institute to confirm, at the request of the German authorities, the authenticity of a certificate I have submitted to a government
agency.
Neither the Goethe Institute nor the Exam Center will use my Data for any additional purposes not otherwise specified in this consent
agreement. In addition, neither the Goethe Institute nor the Exam Center will not provide any Data to a third party, unless there is a
