The Hague Convention of October 5, 1961 Abolishing the Requirement of Legalization for Foreign Public Documents, also known as
the Hague Apostille Convention, facilitates the circulation of public documents between countries signatories of such Convention. It does so by replacing the often complicated and costly formalities of a full legalization process before the different governmental institutions of each country, with the issuance of an Apostille or Apostille Certificate.
The Apostille only applies for the countries mentioned below:
