Hague Apostille from Malta

How the Hague Apostille from Malta works

The Hague Apostille (Apostilla) 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 Malta, so it is recognized in every other Hague member state without further embassy legalization. Notary7 files your document with Ministry for Foreign and European Affairs and Trade (Ministeru għall-Affarijiet Barranin u Ewropej u l-Kummerċ) and returns the fully apostilled original — ready to be relied on abroad.

We handle every document type commonly issued in Malta — including notarized documents, civil records, court and academic documents, and corporate records — in English, Maltese or any language, with certified translation available when your destination country requires it. In Malta, apostilles are issued by the Ministry for Foreign and European Affairs and Trade. Documents must first be certified by a Maltese notary public if not already public documents. The apostille process ensures that Maltese documents like birth certificates or corporate resolutions are legally recognized and accepted in other Hague Convention countries without further diplomatic legalization. This service is crucial for individuals and businesses engaging in international activities originating from Malta.
