An apostille confirms the authenticity of the signature, seal or stamp on a document — not its content. Once apostilled, a Maltese document can be used directly in any other Convention country without further legalisation.
We prepare your file, check that the document carries a signature registered for legalisation, obtain a certified true copy or a fresh original when necessary, and submit it to the Ministry on your behalf. We can also apostille the certified translation, as many countries require both.
If the destination country is not a member of the Hague Convention, an apostille is not enough: the document must go through consular or embassy legalisation instead. We handle that too.
