What is a double apostille?

There are many countries in which documents are legalized by affixing the Apostille stamp to such documents. Some countries may require a double apostille to be affixed to certain documents, usually in countries that have signed the Hague Convention of 1961.

Double apostille

 

The essence of double apostille lies in the fact that after a document has received an apostille in its country of origin, it is submitted to the consular institution (such as an embassy or consulate) of the country where it will be used. In this consular institution, a second apostille or confirmation of the authenticity of the signature and seal is performed to legalize the document for use in that country.

 

At the first stage, it is necessary to submit the original document to the competent ministry, where a stamp "Apostille" will be affixed on the document or its notarized copy.

 

The second stage involves translation and notarization of the document.

 

At the final stage of the procedure, an apostille stamp is affixed on the translated document.
