Many of our clients who need to give the lawyer a Power of Attorney (Poder) will often hear the agent and lawyer talking about a notary sending the documents for the Apostille. So for example if you are in the UK and you cannot come to Spain to buy or sell your property, the lawyer will send the Power of Attorney (POA) to a notary of your choosing in the UK. The notary will complete their details on the documents and you will sign it in front of them. This document will then be sent to the Foreign and commonwealth office for the Apostille. Below you will find out what it is…….

An Apostille is a type of authentication or legalization of official documents for international use.

The Hague Apostille Convention is an international treaty that simplifies the process of document authentication among participating countries.

The Apostille of The Hague is a certificate attached to a document by the competent authority in the country where the document was issued. It verifies the authenticity of the document and the signature of the issuing authority. The Apostille allows the document to be recognized and accepted as valid in other countries that are also parties to the Hague Apostille Convention.

The Apostille is commonly used for various types of documents, such as birth certificates, marriage certificates, academic degrees, notarized documents, and other official records. It streamlines the process of document verification, eliminating the need for additional embassy or consulate legalization in most cases.

Each participating country designates a specific authority responsible for issuing Apostilles. In the case of The Hague, the authority is typically the Ministry of Foreign Affairs or a designated government department.

It’s important to note that not all countries are signatories to the Hague Apostille Convention. Therefore, the process for legalizing documents for international use may differ for non-participating countries.
