What is the Apostlle Convention?
-
This convention abolishes the requirement of legalisation for foreign public documents that facilitates the use of public documents abroad.
What is the purpose of legalizations?
-
Certain countries, primarily countries that are non- signatories to the Hague Convention abolishing the requirement of legalization for foreign public documents, require commercial documents to be legalized by the countries’ US Embassy or Consulate. Depending on invoice value, embassy fees can run into thousands of dollars in some countries, so exporters must be aware of these requirements. The most common countries requiring embassy or consulate legalization include: Algeria, Argentina, Bahrain, Bolivia, Egypt, Iraq, Iran, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Libya, Oman, Paraguay, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, Qatar, Tunisia, UAE and Yemen.

What is the purpose of apostlles?
-
The purpose of the convention is to abolish the traditional requirement of legalisation, replacing the often long and costly legalisation process with the issuance of a single apostille certificate by a competent authority in the place where the document originates.
