Stamp Apostille Poland<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

What is a Polish apostille?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Polish apostille<\/b> – is a stamp, the form, content and purpose of which are determined by the Apostille Convention of 1961.<\/b> The Polish apostille contains information in both English and in the official Polish language.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Poland has joined the Hague Apostille Convention  November 19, 2004. Apostille<\/b>became effective from August 26, 2005<\/b>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Convention, by decision of the Polish authorities does not apply to documents issued by <\/b>Russian authorities in Crimea and Sevastopol, as well as documents issued by the authorities of the Donetsk and Lugansk self-proclaimed republics.<\/b> \/p><\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Apostille in Poland is affixed in two languages: Polish and English<\/b>, regardless of whether the document is translated into English, another language, or not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why do you need an apostille if documents from Poland have the seal and signature of an official?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Regulation (EU) 2016\/1191 of the European Parliament states that an apostille from Poland is not needed for EU countries. However, for other pages For those who are not members of the EU, but are included in the Hague Convention, an apostille is required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many officials work in ministries and departments, government bodies, archives and registry offices of Poland. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are many signatures and they also change. To ensure the originality and truthfulness of the document, and to avoid forgeries, you need to check whether the official\u2019s signature matches the samples of his signature. And did he sign this document? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With so many documents and so many officials, it is very difficult to do this. This is especially difficult for those officials who accept your documents abroad. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That is why a system of confirming all signatures and seals by several persons arose – to facilitate the work of foreign officials. This also reduces processing times abroad as well as waiting times for applicants. In such a system, it is easier for local officials responsible for Apostille to check signatures, seals, and the documents themselves (their forms and contents). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Employees who have access to the internal database of signatures, seals and sample documents also end up in a special register with their signatures. But this register is limited to a dozen signatures, samples of which are transferred to other partner countries or are easily verified by them in other ways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are two procedures<\/b>for such confirmation<\/b>. The first procedure <\/b> – the most reliable – is legalization of documents<\/b>. When the documents are signed by the issuing official, then the document is certified by an employee of the ministry (usually the Ministry of Foreign Affairs), then the last signature is checked and certified by the consulate of the country where the documents need to be submitted. Verification is carried out on the basis of the current database (list) of signatures – along a chain of three departments (institutions, government bodies). <\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Second procedure<\/b>  is based on greater trust and bypasses one department, usually the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. In this case we are talking about an apostille. Apostille is a special stamp of a standard form that greatly simplifies the procedure for recognizing documents from one state on the territory of another.<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can I get an apostille at the Polish consulate?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

According to the Hague Apostille Convention, the Apostille stamp for Polish documents cannot be obtained at the Georgian Consulate<\/b>. And this does not depend on the country where the consulate is located, be it Moldova, Germany, Greece, Georgia, and so on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where can I place (receive) an Apostille in Poland?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Is there an electronic apostille in Poland – E-apostille?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Electronic Apostille allows you to certify birth and marriage certificates, medical documents, court orders and other documents for use abroad. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using the electronic apostille register, any interested person can check the apostille of a document visually and the scanned document.<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, in Poland there is no online apostille verification system yet.<\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
