The apostille serves as confirmation of the validity of documents, certificates and signatures in international legal correspondence. It is a simplified form of legalisation and is valid among states that have signed the Hague Apostille Convention.

Whether your documents require an apostille depends on the requirements of the authorities in the target country. To be able to deliver your project as quickly as possible, we recommend that you ask about these things in advance.

For certificates issued in Austria, the Federal Ministry for European and International Affairs is responsible. For documents from other countries, please consult the relevant representative body. The authorities/institutions you would like to submit your certified translation to will also be able to help you.
