Hague Apostille from Taiwan

How the Hague Apostille from Taiwan works

The Hague Apostille (文件證明) 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 Taiwan, so it is recognized in every other Hague member state without further embassy legalization. Notary7 files your document with Bureau of Consular Affairs, Ministry of Foreign Affairs (BOCA) (外交部領事事務局) and returns the fully apostilled original — ready to be relied on abroad.

We handle every document type commonly issued in Taiwan — including notarized documents, civil records, court and academic documents, and corporate records — in English, Mandarin Chinese or any language, with certified translation available when your destination country requires it. In Taiwan, documents intended for use abroad in Hague member countries undergo the apostille process by the Bureau of Consular Affairs (BOCA) of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. This eliminates the need for further legalization by the embassy or consulate of the destination country, significantly streamlining the authentication process. It is crucial to ensure that the document itself is properly issued and, if necessary, notarized by a local Taiwanese notary public before submitting it for an apostille. The apostille confirms the legitimacy of the signature and seal of the issuing authority in Taiwan, facilitating its acceptance in other Hague signatory nations.
