Apostilles for Austria
Austria ratified the Hague Convention of 1961 to simplify document certification procedure by way of the Apostille stamp on November 14, 1967. Then, by January 13, 1968, the Convention already entered into effect on the territory of Austria.
Once an apostille is stamped, there are two options to choose from for the next step in preparing one's documents for Austria:
- having a translation performed into German on the territory of the Russian Federation and then having the translation notarized;
- having a translation performed into German by a sworn translator on the territory of Austria.
REMEMBER! Always ask your host party how they will be willing to accept your documents, whether they need an apostille (as a rule, they do need one), and whether they need a notarized translation into German (as a rule, this is done after the foreigner’s arrival in Austria).
