The Hague apostille is the certificate that makes a public document valid internationally among the countries of the Hague Convention. It is requested in citizenship, study and work processes abroad, and it often goes together with the translation: depending on the case, the document is apostilled before or after it is translated, and the right order depends on the country and the agency that will receive it.
