APOSTILLE ENDORSEMENTS

Previously, a document had to go through three or four legalisations by various
authorities, today in most cases a single legalisation (a special Apostille stamp)
from the Danish Ministry is sufficient.

When a document has been endorsed with an Apostille, it is in most cases no
longer necessary to have another legalisation at the Embassy of the country
in question.

However, Embassy legalisation can only be dispensed with if the document is to be
used in a country which is a party to the Apostille Convention. Around 90 countries
have signed up, including all the EU countries (see the list of Apostille countries file
below) http://speedheirat.com/apostille.html
