Apostille or legalization?

An Apostille or legalization is an official certification that verifies the authenticity of a document, making it valid for use in another country.

The legal basis for the Apostille is the Hague Convention of 5 October 1961, which simplifies the process of legalizing documents for international use. An Apostille serves as sufficient proof of a document’s authenticity, so no further verification is needed.

Legalization is a more complex process used for countries that are not part of the Apostille system, involving verification through embassies or consulates. Always check with the relevant Polish embassy or consulate for the most accurate and up-to-date information regarding document legalization requirements:
