Apostille from Poland

Schmidt & Schmidt offers the legalization of public documents from Poland by apostille.

Poland acceeded to the Hague Convention Abolishing the Requirement of Legalization for Foreign Public Documents in 2005. Therefore, no diplomatic authentication or consular legalization of public documents from Poland is required for successful legal communication with another member state of the Convention.The documents only need to be attested by an apostille certificate with an "apostille" stamp on it by the issuing state's authorities in order to be valid in the state of destination.

The apostille is a stamp of rectangular shape. It should be filled in in the official language of the issuing authority. The heading "Apostille (Convention de la Haye du 5 octobre 1961)" written in French is a necessary requirement for the apostille's validity.

Responsible for issuing the apostille in Poland is the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Prior to being submitted for apostillizatrion, some documents require an additional certification:

  • Notarized copies of documents, notarized translations and other notarized documents (powers of attorney, last wills, declarations) - from the district court
  • Diplomas on higher education - from the Ministry of Education and Science
  • Diplomas on school education - from the Ministry of National Education
  • Certificates about training - from the Polish Chamber of Crafts
  • Commercial papers - from the Polish Chamber of Commerce.
Apostille from Poland

The following documents can be authenticated by apostille:

  • Certificates of civil status (certificates of birth, death, marriage and divorce)
  • Education documents (school reports, certificates, diplomas)
  • Trade register excerpts
  • Court decisions
  • Notarially certified copies of documents
  • Notarially certified translations
  • Further notarial documents (authorizations, last will, declarations)
  • Commercial documents legalized by a state registration body (articles of incorporation, registration certificates, tax registrations etc.)

Requirements for the documents:

The apostille can be exclusively issued for the original document. Therefore, the latter must be presented in good condition, with all stamps and signatures clear and readable. Furthermore, it should not contain alien markings or labels.

Additional services

In addition to the legalization of your public documents, we can provide you with high-quality translations.

Should you require company information for use in court, it needs to be legalized as well. We are therefore offering extracts from the commercial register of Poland including apostillization and translation.

On average, processing the documents takes 14 days.

Courier services are charged and invoiced separately according to the courier service’s rates.

You can pay for our services by PayPal, bank transfer or credit card.

I used Schmidt & Schmidt recently as I needed some documents legalized from a country abroad, but I didn’t have the time to travel and the know how to complete my tasks. I am totally satisfied with their services as they completed everything as I asked them quickly and accurate. Valeria Nikolaeva was very helpful and we had a great communication. In case I require their services again, Schmidt is my only choice. I am very happy with their services.

Frequently asked questions about Legalization and Apostille

1. What is legalization of documents and what is it needed for?

Legalization of a document is a process, which allows to legitimate the document issued in one country for its usage in another. It means, if you want to submit a document, issued in one country, to authorities in a target country, the document must primarily prove its authenticity. Legalization confirms the authority of the issuing official as well as an authenticity of his signature and seal. Legalization is needed for official non-commercial documents.

2. How can the document be legalized for another country?

There are following procedures of legalization of documents:
  • Consular legalization
  • Apostille (a simplified procedure of legalization)
  • Legalization of documents by the Chamber of Commerce and Industry
Consular legalization applies to countries, that have not signed the Hague Convention of 1961, which implemented a law about the procedure of apostille (a lot of European countries are member states of this convention). Legalization of documents through the Chamber of Commerce is carried out in relation to commercial documents (contracts, invoices etc).

3. Is the legalization of the document always required?

No, not always. In some cases, countries can make bi- or multilateral agreements that completely revoke legalization of documents for their recognition in the member countries. For example, a CIEC convention from 1976 or bilateral treaties between Germany and Belgium, Denmark, France, Greece, Italy, Luxemburg, Austria and Switzerland.
