Apostille and legalization of the certificate/diploma
A foreign document entitling to undertake studies at an appropriate level should be certified in the form of an apostille or legalization.
Apostille is a certificate on the basis of which official documents (including certificates and diplomas) issued on the territory of one state are considered legal on the territory of another state. If the country in which the document was issued is a party to the Convention Abolishing the Requirement of Legalization of Foreign Public Documents, drawn up in The Hague on October 5, 1961 (Journal of Laws of 2005, No. 112, item 938), the legalization of the document includes country replaced by an apostille attached to the document.
The list of states parties to the convention and addresses of institutions issuing the apostille can be found on the website of the
Hague Convention.
You can get an Apostille in the country that issued the document.
Legalization is a confirmation of the authenticity of a document (e.g. a certificate or diploma) issued in another country. It must be performed if it is not possible to obtain an apostille, because the country that issued the document did not accept the Hague Convention. If the country in which you obtained your diploma is not on the list of signatories to the Hague Convention, you should legalize this document.
Usually, the document is legalized by the consul of the Republic of Poland, competent for the country on whose territory or in whose education system the certificate was issued.
