Frequently asked questions
What is an apostille?
An apostille is a certificate that confirms a document is genuine, for countries that are party to the Apostille Convention. Other countries require legalisation through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the embassy.
Can the power of attorney be in two languages?
Often yes. A bilingual document can make it easier to use abroad. The notary decides on the final text.
How long does it take?
Signing at the notary is usually quick. Further legalisation and embassy steps take longer and depend on the country; we tell you the expected time in advance.
