The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is responsible for the authentication process to ensure documents are accepted in foreign countries. This includes guidelines on the types of documents that require authentication and the associated processes.
The authentication of public documents typically involves several steps, as outlined below:
| Step | Description |
| 1. Notarization | Documents are notarized by an authorized notary, confirming the authenticity of signatures and legality. |
| 2. Notarized Certificates | A notarized certificate is issued, which accompanies the original public document. |
| 3. Apostille for Convention Countries | For documents intended for countries that are members of the Hague Convention, an Apostille is obtained. |
| 4. Certification for Non-Convention Countries | For non-member countries, a certificate is required that complies with the Notaries Law, needing approval from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. |
| 5. Final Verification | Courts verify notary signatures and ensure all documentation is in proper order. |
Understanding the types of certifications available is crucial when preparing documents for international use:
| Type | Description |
| Apostille Certificate | Issued for documents destined for member states of the Hague Convention. It verifies that the document is official and recognized internationally. |
| Certificate Not According to Convention | Issued for documents intended for non-member countries. Requires additional verification by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs but incurs no court fees. |
