First of all, what is an apostille?
This is a simplified legalisation procedure introduced by the Hague Convention of 5 October 1961, to which a large number of countries have acceded.
It certifies the authenticity and validity of a document for international purposes.
Note that it certifies the accuracy of the signature on a document, but not its content.
Who issues the apostille?
The apostille is generally issued by a Court of Appeal, and can be done by filling in a dedicated cerfa form or by sending a letter to the relevant Court of Appeal, for example.
STUDIO GENTILE can take care of this if you wish.
What about this birth certificate?
It will first be apostilled and then translated by a sworn translator at a Court of Appeal. It takes around 10 days to obtain the apostille (the time varies depending on the Court of Appeal) and 5 days for the sworn translation.
