Hague Apostille from Bosnia and Herzegovina

How the Hague Apostille from Bosnia and Herzegovina works

The Hague Apostille is a certificate issued under the 1961 Hague Convention that authenticates the signature, seal and capacity of the public official who signed a document in Bosnia and Herzegovina, so it is recognized in every other Hague member state without further embassy legalization. Notary7 files your document with Municipal Courts or Ministry of Justice of Bosnia and Herzegovina (Opštinski sudovi ili Ministarstvo pravde Bosne i Hercegovine) and returns the fully apostilled original — ready to be relied on abroad.

We handle every document type commonly issued in Bosnia and Herzegovina — including notarized documents, civil records, court and academic documents, and corporate records — in English, Bosnian, Serbian, Croatian or any language, with certified translation available when your destination country requires it. In Bosnia and Herzegovina, apostilles are typically issued by the municipal courts (Općinski sudovi) for documents issued within their jurisdiction, or by the Ministry of Justice for federal documents. The process usually involves presenting the original document to the competent authority. The apostille certificate confirms the authenticity of the signature, the capacity in which the person signing the document acted, and, where appropriate, the identity of the seal or stamp which the document bears. This stamp ensures that the document will be recognized in other countries that are signatories to the Hague Apostille Convention.
