With an official Apostille clause affixed, your foreign public documents are fully validated and require no further verification abroad. To provide a truly comprehensive service, we also deliver certified, sworn translations for all types of paperwork.

What Documents Can We Obtain an Apostille For?

At Lex Corporation, we secure Apostille clauses for a diverse range of official and commercial records. The most common documents subject to this process include:

  • Sworn Translations: An Apostille can also be affixed directly to a certified translation to ensure its legal validity abroad.

What Does the Process of Getting an Apostille Look Like?

While the legal path to getting an Apostille stamp is straightforward, it can become highly time-consuming if you attempt to navigate the state offices independently.

The standard process requires:

  1. Thorough preparation of your original paperwork.
  2. Accurately completing the formal application for the Apostille clause.
  3. Processing and paying the required government stamp duties.
  4. Collecting the certified files in person from the ministry or via postal services.

Documents Requiring Legalization Prior to the Apostille

Before you can apply for an Apostille, certain specific files must first undergo a preliminary authentication or verification procedure. Pre-legalization is required for:

  • Commercial and business invoices or contracts.
  • Notary and court-issued documentation.
  • Master’s diplomas and official craft certificates.
  • Doctoral and habilitation diplomas granted by international scientific institutes or research bodies of the Polish Academy of Sciences.

How Long Does it Take to Secure the Seal?

The overall processing time varies significantly depending on your chosen method of application:
