An apostille is an international certification annotation that allows a document to be officially recognized in another country. In countries party to the Hague Convention, no additional consular legalization is required. In Turkey, the apostille is issued by provincial or district governor's offices depending on the type of document. For judicial documents, the presidencies of the high criminal courts are the competent authority. Which document gets its apostille from where is easy to confuse; we make that distinction for you. The order of steps matters. Some countries require the document to be apostilled first and then translated, others the reverse. Proceeding in the wrong order means starting the process over. If you tell us which country you will submit the document to, we determine the correct order. For countries not party to the Hague Convention, consular legalization is required; we provide guidance through that process as well.
