APOSTILLE FROM POLAND

If you have Polish documents that you need legalising for use in another country, whether for personal, educational, or professional use, you need to have them notarised. Poland is part of The Hague Convention Abolishing the Requirement of Legalisation for Foreign Public Documents. As such, you only need to have your documents apostilled. The Apostille must be issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage in Poland. If you no longer live in Poland, this can be difficult to arrange. Also, your documents must be authenticated by a Polish Public Notary or solicitor prior to obtaining an apostille stamp. If the country you need your documents authenticated for is not part of The Hague Apostille Convention, they must be legalised by an approved authority as well as the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Poland. Again, this can be a time-consuming and difficult process.

DOCUMENTS THAT CAN BE AUTHENTICATED BY APOSTILLE

The following Polish documents can be authenticated by Apostille for use abroad:

–  Polish Birth certificates

–  Death certificates

–  Marriage certificates from Poland

–  Divorce papers

–  Educational documents which include diplomas, and other certificates

–  Trade register quotations

–  Court rulings/decisions from Polish Courts

–  Notarised copies of Polish documents

–  Notarised/certified translations

–  Notarised documents such as last wills, declarations, authorisations

–  Commercial documents such as tax registrations, articles of corporation, etc

If you are planning to do business in another country, or you need your proof of identity, or your educational documents used there, you have to authenticate and apostille your documents in the country of issue. Only then can your documents be used in the other country.

APOSTILLE LEGISLATION AND EMBASSY LEGALISATION  IN POLAND EXPLAINED

Polish documents that are needed for use abroad in regions such as the Gulf, Asia, and Africa which have already been apostilled by the relevant authorities, must also be submitted to the relevant local Embassies/Consulates for the second layer of authentication. The process verifies the preliminary certification of the documents submitted for authentication. The process involves verifying the Apostille stamp before a second Embassy certification stamp is added to the document. It can be time-consuming and complex because it has to be done in person. Furthermore, applications must be completed and often any fees for the service need to be paid in cash. This is where our services are invaluable. We make the authentication of your Polish documents for use abroad a stress free process from start to finish by conducting the procedure in a reliable, professional and timely manner.
