Apostille
"When is apostille required for documents used in Turkey?"
Quick Answer
Documents from Hague Convention countries require apostille for use in Turkey. Non-Hague country documents need consular legalization.
Scope and Legal Distinctions
An apostille authenticates a public document's signature, official capacity and seal. It does not confirm that the document's contents are true or that a corporate signatory had authority for a transaction.
What to Check in Practice
Confirm that the convention operates between the issuing and receiving jurisdictions, select the competent authority for the document, and check translation and receiving-office requirements.
