What is an apostille?

In addition to certifying a translation, a translation can also be provided with an apostille. An apostille authenticates the signature of the certified or sworn translator. It is valid in countries which are members of the Apostille Treaty. We can arrange an apostille for your translation for an additional cost and slightly longer delivery time.

The apostille is recognised by countries which are members of the Apostille Treaty (The Hague Convention of October 5th 1961). Countries are continuously being added to this treaty. You can see a recent list of countries which recognise the apostille at hcch.e-vision.nl/index_en.php?act=conventions.status&cid=41. An apostille is sufficient for legal acceptance of the translation. Apostilles can be issued in English, German, French, Spanish, Italian and Dutch and look like a label with a seal and signature from the court.

We are happy to provide you with an apostille.
