Frequently asked question 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.

The five most common mistakes when translating documents for use abroad

Translation of official documents for use abroad may at first seem like a simple and uncomplicated procedure. After all, there are many translation agencies in almost every country. But it is not that simple, and therefore we are often contacted by people who have already tried to translate documents on their own, lost time and money, and eventually have to do everything in a proper way.
