The year 2025 is coming to an end in a world that has lost its balance. The fourth year of war in Europe, the continued escalation of geopolitical conflicts, several quarters of economic recession in Germany, and a global economy dangerously close to a structural crisis – all of this forms the environment in which companies are forced to operate today.
Please be aware that the upcoming month of Ramadan will begin on the evening of March 1 and will last until the evening of March 29, 2025. During this period, the working hours of government offices, postal and courier services, as well as commercial organizations, may change in many Muslim countries.
As the year 2024 comes to an end, it is time for reflection, gratitude, and setting our sights on the opportunities ahead. This year has been one of transformation, innovation, and determination as we navigated an ever-changing global landscape.
Schmidt & Schmidt is excited to announce the opening of our new office in Ankara, Turkey, further extending our global reach and providing essential document legalization and business services to the region. This new office is a key step in bringing our specialized offerings closer to Turkish businesses and international clients with operations in Turkey.
In this New Year and Christmas, we want to express our gratitude to every member of our team, our clients, and partners. Your support, trust, and efforts are the foundation of our success. We look forward to the future with optimism and are ready to meet 2024 with new ideas and solutions.
On 20th October 2023, Schmidt & Schmidt transformed their company rooftop in Passau into a stage for a unique musical experience: "Concert on the Roof".

As every year, on New Year's Eve and Christmas Eve, we summarize the results of the past year and set plans for the future.
This year has been interesting and busy for all of us. It has presented our team with many new challenges, but it has also offered many new opportunities for development. There have been many achievements as well as challenges to overcome.
We are currently receiving regular reports from individuals and companies who have fallen victim to scammers using schemes related to document legalization services.
Our company has always paid close attention to the economic development of Central Asia and offers professional services to many companies in this region.
Given the growing volume of orders from Asia and established business contacts with many companies in the region, we decided to get closer to our customers and partners and open another office in the capital of Kazakhstan, Nur-Sultan, for which we created a new legal entity - Schmidt & Schmidt TOO.
Winter has arrived and with it Christmas is getting closer and closer. Most of all, it means having a good time with family and friends. At the same time, the holidays can also be very busy: the last gifts need to be wrapped, Christmas dinner is on the stove, pets have to be kept away from the Christmas tree and at the same time children try to steal cookies. We, Schmidt & Schmidt, traditionally summarize the past year on the eve of the new year and at Christmas and define plans for the future. The year 2021 offered our company a multitude of opportunities for further development and became a year full of successes, new achievements as well as challenges and difficulties overcome.
We’ve been working hard over the last few months on a completely fresh design for our website which reflects our corporate values and provides our customers and stakeholders with a more intuitive and user-friendly experience.
We’re thrilled that since our last site redesign in 2011, we’ve continued to grow and expand our portfolio of business solutions for our international clients. As we’ve grown, we want to showcase our new services, our work and the people at the heart of our success.
It would be insincere to say that all these 10 years passed unnoticed. It has been a long and difficult journey. I remember me and Alexey, my brother and regular business partner, registering the company in September 2011. We had just finished our studies at the University of Passau. I only had 300 euros in my account. This money became our first capital, from which the fees for the registration of the GbR Schmidt & Schmidt were paid.
On September 2, 2021, the district court of Stuttgart issued a court order against Sercons International GmbH with its registered office in Baar, Switzerland.
There is no doubt that the past year has been difficult for everyone. The global changes affected all of us, and we had to adjust and adapt quickly to the evolving conditions. Nevertheless, the past year's outcomes show that we have chosen the right strategy.
On the 24th of December a festive season begins. And it will be last until the beginning of January 2020. It is worth emphasizing that the post also has certain difficulties in shipping. In fact, many government agencies stop working on the 20th December. Before you have taken any steps, be sure that the relevant office is still open.
Our employees can not only work well, but also spend free time exciting. Christmas market and mulled wine are of course a good idea, but something new and mysterious is also no hindrance for us.
