Azbuka Translation Agency Lviv

APOSTILLE is a standardized certificate or stamp, which is affixed on the original documents only or
formalized as an appendix thereto. The apostille confirms the authenticity of the signature of the person
who signed and issued the document, official capacity, and in some cases the authenticity of the stamp
or seal on the document.
Legalization of official documents means a procedure of confirming the authenticity of the original
official documents or authenticity of signatures of officials who are authorized to certify signatures on
documents, as well as the authenticity of impressions of the stamps and seals used to certify the
document.
Along with consular legalization, Translation Agency “Azbuka“ offers apostille service to its customers.
Consular legalization is required for countries that are not parties to the Hague Convention. Generally,
legalization consists of three stages, namely: legalization at the Ministry of Justice of Ukraine, then at
the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, and the final stage, at the consular office of the country in
which this document will be used.
A power of attorney issued at the notarial office is necessary for consular legalization of documents. If
you send us documents by mail, please ask for the name of the authorized person to be specified in the
power of attorney before sending the documents. To do this, please contact us in whatever way is
convenient for you.
