Questions and answers about apostille

It is a form of international legalization used to confirm the authenticity of a public document issued in one nation and intended for use in another nation.

Without an apostille stamp, it can be difficult or even impossible to get foreign authorities or organizations to accept a document as a legally valid proof.

It is issued by specially designated authorities in each country. In Sweden, however, only notary public can issue it.

Usually, it only applies to public documents, such as birth certificates, marriage certificates, divorce decrees, and court orders. Private documents must first be notarized before they can be provided with an apostille.

Apostille stamps are an international endorsement of a document used to confirm that the document is legally valid and genuine. It is a way to simplify document transfer between countries that have joined the Hague Convention. Other types of legal stamps, such as diplomatic stamps, legalization stamps and notarial stamps, are less widely recognized and often require your documents to go through more processes to be approved.
