Question: Good afternoon! For example, if I’m going to Sweden and I need to translate my diploma of education and diploma of vocational education. Do I need an apostille?

Answer: The need for an apostille for educational documents depends on the requirements of the institution in which these documents are submitted. In our experience, in most cases, there is no need to approve apostille because Sweden is a part of the Hague Convention, while foreign documents submitted to the Swedish authorities do not need to be legalized with the apostille.

Legalization is required if the documents are intended for use in a country not on the list: 1961. Member States of the Hague Convention of 5 October 1951 on the Abolition of Legalization of Foreign Public Documents.
