Who issues apostilles in the Czech Republic
Depending on the document, the apostille is issued either by the Czech Ministry of Justice (typically documents from courts, notaries and court translators) or by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (other public documents, such as civil registry and education documents). Some documents first need an intermediate certification.
The correct sequence of steps varies from document to document, and this is where most delays happen. We check the exact procedure for your document and destination country and take care of the whole process.
Apostille and translation
Often the original needs an apostille, then a translation that includes the apostille, and sometimes the certified translation itself must be apostilled too. Requirements differ by country and institution, so we always confirm them first.
Frequently asked questions
Which countries accept an apostille?
Countries that have joined the Hague Apostille Convention – including most European countries, the USA and many others. Other countries require consular legalisation. We always check your specific country.
Do I need to visit the ministry in person?
No, we handle it for you. Just send us the document and we take care of the rest.
Can you get an apostille on a foreign document?
An apostille is always issued by the country where the document was issued. Through our international partner network, we can arrange apostilles in many other countries as well.
