Frequently asked questions
- Can affidavits be sworn remotely?
- Yes. A Swedish Notary Public can administer the oath via a secure video meeting and notarise the affidavit.
- Will the affidavit be accepted abroad?
- Yes. With an apostille, the affidavit is accepted in all Hague Convention countries.
- What ID do I need?
- A valid passport or national ID is required for the meeting.
- What is the difference between notarization and an apostille?
- Notarisation is the act of a notary public verifying identity, witnessing a signature, or certifying a copy as authentic. An apostille is a separate certificate issued afterward that confirms the notarisation itself is valid for use in another Hague Convention country.
- What is the difference between an apostille and legalisation?
- An apostille is a simplified, single-step certification used between countries that are both members of the Hague Apostille Convention. Legalisation is a more complex, multi-step process, typically involving notarisation, government departments, and embassy or consular authentication, required when the destination country is not a Hague Convention member.
- How do I know if my country is part of the Hague Apostille Convention?
- You can check the official Hague Conference on Private International Law (HCCH) status table, which lists every contracting party to the Apostille Convention and the date it took effect for that country. This is the authoritative source for confirming Hague Convention membership. See HCCH status table.
- Can a document issued by a foreign authority be apostilled directly?
- No. Foreign authority documents must first be notarised as a certified copy before an apostille can be issued. Civil documents such as powers of attorney or passport copies follow the same rule: notarisation first, then apostille.
