Apostille services

The apostille is a single certificate, created by the 1961 Hague Convention, that authenticates a public document for use in another member country. It replaces the longer chain of consular legalization between member countries.

An apostille can only be issued by the competent authority of the country where the document was issued, and it is only recognized when the destination country is also a party to the Convention. Through our international network, we obtain apostilles on documents issued abroad and combine them with certified translations. When the apostille route does not apply, we organize full consular legalization instead.

Frequently asked questions

Which countries accept an apostille?

More than 120 states and territories are parties to the Hague Apostille Convention, including France, Belgium, Switzerland, the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Germany, Italy, Türkiye, China and Saudi Arabia. Check our legalization-by-country pages or ask us.

What if the destination country is not a member?

Then the document needs consular legalization: certification by the issuing country's Ministry of Foreign Affairs followed by the embassy or consulate of the destination country. We manage this chain for you.

Should the translation also be apostilled?

It depends on the destination authority. Some require the apostille on the original only, others on the translation as well. We check before starting.
