An apostille is an official government certificate to confirm the authenticity of a document presented with it. This process is known as legalisation of a document and used to be known as ‘consularisation’. It is an international certification comparable to a notarisation. We are specialist in Apostille & Legalisation services in Tunisia
Many foreign jurisdictions require documentations to bear a legally recognised bodies stamp or certification to be able to recognise and accept those documents as legal documents. Documents that have been legalised and bear an apostille, are internationally recognised by countries that are signatories to the 1961 Hague Convention. Our legal professionals are well positioned to help you in apostille & legalisation services in Tunisia.
Tunisia is a member of the Hague Apostille Convention. Specifically, Tunisia acceded to the Hague Convention of 5 October 1961 Abolishing the Requirement of Legalisation for Foreign Public Documents (commonly known as the Apostille Convention) on 10 July 2017, and the Convention entered into force for Tunisia on 30 March 2018.
If you’re handling Tunisian public documents for use in another country that is also a member of the Apostille Convention, you no longer need to go through traditional consular legalisation. Instead, you can obtain an apostille—a standardized certificate that authenticates the origin of your document.
However, for use abroad, if the country is not part of the Hague Apostille Convention, so documents must go through full consular legalisation, which includes steps at multiple levels (international legalisation).
If you require a Power of Attorney for overseas use our lawyers can draft this for you. We can also arrange speedy translation of any document.
