Countries which accept the Official Apostille Certificate

The following countries are all members of the Hague conference and have entered into force Convention 12 of 5 October 1961, Abolishing the Requirement of Legalisation for Foreign Public Documents.

These countries will therefore accept the Apostille Certificate in place of any further legalisation.

Countries not listed will often still require an Apostille but will then also require further legalisation via their embassy. Please contact us for guidance on this.
