Apostille is an international document confirming the legality and authenticity of official documents published in one country for their use in another country. This process became possible by the Hague Convention of 1961, which established the only standard for legalizing documents between participating countries.
Apostille consists of a special stamp or seal that is applied to the original document or its copy. This stamp contains information about the country where a document was issued, as well as a signature and seal of the official who certifys the document.
Apostille can be necessary for various kinds of documents such as birth, marriage, divorce, diplomas, education certificates, wage certificates, treaties, and many others. It provides recognition of these documents in any country that is part of the Hague Convention.
Apostille design procedure usually includes the representation of the original document or its copy to a competent authority in the country where the document was issued. After checking the authenticity of the document, the apostille is applied to it. After that, the document can be used in any member state of the Hague Convention without the need for additional legalization.
Apostille is an important tool to simplify international exchange of documents and support for legal interactions between countries. It ensures that documents presented in another country are legal and valid.
