Document Guides

Apostille guide by document type

Choose a document type to check the competent authority, the requirements and the translations that may be required in your destination country. The required route depends on the issuing and receiving countries and the document type.

The «Apostille» and «Legalization» tags indicate the routes each document type can take. Which route your case actually requires depends on the issuing and receiving countries — check the individual guide and each authority's official instructions before proceeding.
