Hague Apostille from Ireland

How the Hague Apostille from Ireland 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 Ireland, so it is recognized in every other Hague member state without further embassy legalization. Notary7 files your document with Department of Foreign Affairs (Roinn Gnóthaí Eachtracha) and returns the fully apostilled original — ready to be relied on abroad.

We handle every document type commonly issued in Ireland — including notarized documents, civil records, court and academic documents, and corporate records — in English, English or any language, with certified translation available when your destination country requires it. In Ireland, the Apostille is issued by the Department of Foreign Affairs. This process certifies the authenticity of signatures and seals on various public documents, including those issued by government bodies, notaries, or educational institutions. The Apostille legalizes the document for use in all other countries that are signatories to the Hague Convention. It streamlines the acceptance of Irish documents internationally, removing the need for further diplomatic or consular legalization.
