Apostille and consular legalisation
A document to be used abroad needs a separate approval before another country will recognise it.
What an apostille is
The apostille is a certificate that makes documents mutually recognised between countries party to the Hague Convention. In Türkiye it is issued by provincial and district governorships.
The common mistake
The apostille goes on the document, not on the translationThe apostille is applied to the original document or to the notary’s certificate — never to the translated text itself. The order of steps therefore matters, and an application made in the wrong order has to be started again.
Countries outside the Convention
If the destination country is not party to the Hague Convention an apostille has no effect. Approval by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is required instead, followed by that country’s consulate. This route takes longer.
We handle the process
We establish which approval the destination country requires, make the application on your behalf, and show every step on your order page. Official fees appear separately in the price breakdown.
