Hague Apostille from Norway

How the Hague Apostille from Norway works

The Hague Apostille (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 Norway, so it is recognized in every other Hague member state without further embassy legalization. Notary7 files your document with County Governor (Statsforvalteren) (Statsforvalteren) and returns the fully apostilled original — ready to be relied on abroad.

We handle every document type commonly issued in Norway — including notarized documents, civil records, court and academic documents, and corporate records — in English, Norwegian or any language, with certified translation available when your destination country requires it. In Norway, the County Governor (Statsforvalteren) is responsible for issuing apostilles. Documents must typically be original and signed by a public official or notarized by a notary public before an apostille can be affixed. This process ensures that Norwegian documents, once apostilled, are accepted by authorities in other Hague Convention countries without further legalization. The apostille confirms the authenticity of the signature and the capacity in which the signatory has acted. It does not validate the content of the document itself.
