Translation notes
- The apostille follows the fixed 10-field model of the Hague Convention; field numbers are kept and the French heading 'APOSTILLE (Convention de La Haye du 5 octobre 1961)' is not translated.
- An apostille certifies only the signature, the capacity of the signatory and the identity of the seal or stamp (whose it is); it does not certify the content of the document.
- For information only: a document for use in a country that is not party to the Hague Convention usually needs consular legalization instead of an apostille; the authority receiving the document decides which procedure is required.
