Apostille

For Austrian documents used abroad, the issuing authority determines the apostille route. We review your document and the recipient’s instructions, identify the responsible certification authority and arrange any preparatory notarial certification. You receive the required steps, expected timing and total cost before the process begins. Apostilles are issued through different authorities according to the document’s origin. Administrative and civil-status documents follow a different route from court and notarial records. We establish the appropriate route from the outset and coordinate the certification needed for the receiving organisation.
