Hague Apostille from Türkiye

How the Hague Apostille from Türkiye works

The Hague Apostille (Apostil) 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 Türkiye, so it is recognized in every other Hague member state without further embassy legalization. Notary7 files your document with Governorates (Valilikler) or Judicial Commissions of Assize Courts (Adli Yargı İlk Derece Mahkemesi Adalet Komisyonları) (Valilikler veya Adli Yargı İlk Derece Mahkemesi Adalet Komisyonları) and returns the fully apostilled original — ready to be relied on abroad.

We handle every document type commonly issued in Türkiye — including notarized documents, civil records, court and academic documents, and corporate records — in English, Turkish or any language, with certified translation available when your destination country requires it. In Türkiye, the Apostille process is generally handled by the Governorates for administrative documents and by the Judicial Commissions of Assize Courts for judicial documents. The document must first be authenticated by the issuing authority within Türkiye before it can be presented for an Apostille. Türkiye is a signatory to the Hague Apostille Convention, meaning documents apostilled there are accepted in other member countries without further legalization. It is essential to confirm the specific authority responsible for your document type, as this can vary. The Apostille confirms the authenticity of the signature, the capacity in which the person signing the document has acted, and where appropriate, the identity of the seal or stamp which the document bears.
