Apostille Certificate

An apostille is a certificate issued by a competent authority that authenticates the origin of a public document for use in another Hague Convention country.

Typical translation use cases

Translating the apostille together with the document it is attached to
Applications where every page of the file must be in the target language
Verifying the details of an apostille issued abroad

Practical considerations

Apostilles are issued only by the designated competent authorities; ATANER TRANSLATION does not issue them.
Many apostilles can be verified online through the issuing authority's register.
