ABC Translation

Apostille and legalisation

A Swedish document used abroad often has to be confirmed as authentic. The route depends on the country – we find out which applies and handle every step for you.

Apostille – for Hague Convention countries

Countries party to the 1961 Hague Convention accept an apostille as confirmation that the signature and stamp on a public document are genuine. In Sweden, apostilles are issued by a notary public (notarius publicus). We submit the document, follow up on processing and return the finished document to you.

Legalisation – for all other countries

Countries outside the convention often require a chain of certifications: a notary public, then the Swedish Ministry for Foreign Affairs, and finally the country's embassy or consulate. We coordinate the entire chain, including embassy fees, forms and opening hours.

Translation and apostille in one case

Often both the original and the translation must be certified. We plan the order so nothing has to be redone – and give you one price for the whole case.
