Apostille on Passports in Almaty and Astana

An apostille is an official stamp confirming the authenticity of a document for its use in international contexts. It ensures recognition of the document abroad without additional legalization procedures. An apostille may be affixed either directly to the original document or to a notarized copy if the original cannot be apostilled — for example, in the case of passports or driver’s licenses.

The apostille service includes:

• Document condition check — the document must be in perfect condition, without extraneous notes, strikethroughs, or corrections.
• Apostille affixing — the special stamp is placed either directly on the document or on a separate sheet attached to it.
• Verification of details — all data, including number, date, and seals, must be clear and accurate.
• Handling multi-page documents — they must be bound, numbered, and sealed.
• Duplication of apostille text — inscriptions are made in the language of the country and in one of the languages approved by the Hague Convention.

Apostilling makes documents legally valid abroad, significantly simplifying their use when applying for visas, employment, or study. This is a key procedure for compliance with international standards.
