Apostille is a simplified form of document legalization for the countries participating in the Hague Convention. Affixing an apostille stamp is necessary to give the document legal force on the territory of another state.
When using a document issued abroad, on the territory of Ukraine, first you need to put an apostille on it. In any other case, your document will not be recognized by any foreign institution. This is why they put an apostille.
Apostille stamps are not provided for in embassies or consulates of foreign states. Apostille is placed on foreign documents only in those countries where the document was issued. You can affix an apostille in Government Ministries, such as the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Justice, and the Ministry of Education and Science.
An apostille is affixed to any document.
Most often, people need an apostille for a diploma (apostille for educational documents), an apostille for civil registry office documents (for example, an apostille for a birth certificate).
In each country, there are a number of specific requirements for documents provided for affixing an apostille stamp. Contacting UST Group legal company will help you minimize the time to receive properly executed documents.
