Hague Apostille from Timor-Leste

How the Hague Apostille from Timor-Leste 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 Timor-Leste, so it is recognized in every other Hague member state without further embassy legalization. Notary7 files your document with Ministry of Justice (Ministériu Justisa) and returns the fully apostilled original — ready to be relied on abroad.

We handle every document type commonly issued in Timor-Leste — including notarized documents, civil records, court and academic documents, and corporate records — in English, Tetum or any language, with certified translation available when your destination country requires it. In Timor-Leste, the Ministry of Justice is the designated authority for issuing Apostilles. Documents presented for an Apostille must first be authenticated by the relevant Timorese issuing body, such as the civil registry or a notary public. This ensures the document's authenticity within Timor-Leste before international certification. The Apostille simplifies the process of document acceptance in other Hague signatory nations by removing the need for further diplomatic or consular legalization.
