APOSTILLE TIMAH CONSULTANCY

APOSTILLE

TİMAH Consultancy is offering the legalization of documents from Turkey by apostille.

Turkey has joined the Hauge Convention Abolishing the Requirement of Legalisation for Foreign Public Documents in the year 1985. Therefore no diplomatic authentication or legalization of documents from Turkey is required for the legal communication with another member state of the convention. The documents only need to be stamped with an "apostille" by the issuing state's authorities in order to be valid in the state of destination.

An apostille is a stamp of rectangular shape. The heading "Apostille (Convention de La Haye du 5 octobre 1961)" must be in French.

In Turkey, different authorities are responsible for issuing apostilles:

County commissioner (Kaymakam) or governor (Valilik) - for documents of administrative authorities and notaries

Director of the Committee of Legal Affairs (Ağır Ceza Mahkemesi Kuruluşu bulunan merkezlerdeki Adalet Komisyonu Başkanı) or local Presidium of the Committee of Legal Affairs (Adliye Encümeni Başkanı veya Ağır Ceza Mahkemelerinin bulunmadığı yerlerde o yerin bağlı bulunduğu yerdeki Adalet Komisyonu Başkanlıkları) - for judicial documents

The following documents can be authenticated by apostille:

Certificates of civil status (certificates of birth, death, marriage and divorce)

Education documents (school reports, certificates, diplomas)

Trade register excerpts

Judicial decisions

Notarially certified copies of documents

Notarially certified translations

Further notarial documents (authorizations, last will, declarations)

Commercial documents legalized by a state organ of registration (articles of incorporation, registration certificates, tax registrations etc.)

Only original documents or notarially certified copies issued by public authorities can be apostilled.
