Apostille
We obtain apostilles from the Polish Ministry of Foreign Affairs for documents used in Hague Convention countries.
An apostille certifies the authenticity of a Polish public document and is recognised in all countries that are party to the Hague Convention of 5 October 1961. In Poland, apostilles are issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
We handle the whole procedure: we check that the document qualifies, arrange any prior certification it needs, file the application, collect the document and send it back to you, together with a certified translation if required.

Frequently asked questions
What is an apostille?
An official certificate confirming the authenticity of the signature, the capacity of the signatory and the seal on a document. With it, the document needs no further legalization in Hague Convention countries.
Apostille or legalization – which do I need?
It depends on the destination country. If it is a Hague Convention member, an apostille is enough. If not, consular legalization is required. We will check for you.
Does an apostilled document need translating?
Often yes – the destination country may require a translation of both the document and the apostille. We will set the right order: apostille first, then translation, or the other way round.
How long does an apostille take?
It depends on the document type, whether prior certification is needed and the authority's current workload. We give a realistic timeline in the quote.
