Apostille in Poland – what's important to know?

What is an apostille and when is it required?

An apostille is an official certification confirming that a document has been issued by a competent authority. It certifies the authenticity of the signature and seal on a document, allowing it to be recognised in another country that is a member of the 1961 Hague Convention. In other words, an apostille is a simplified form of legalization for international document use.

An apostille is required when:

  • the country where the document will be used is a member of the Hague Convention
