Apostille certification for Czech documents: general information
What is an apostille and why is it needed?
In short, an apostille is an additional certification that ensures documents are recognized it for use in other countries outside of the one where they were issued. An apostille can be placed on any official papers, most commonly those issued by government authorities or issued by notary. An apostille may or may not be required – each case varies for the Czech Republic and every other country.
Therefore, in many cases, you may need this certification to validate Czech documents outside, as well as for foreign to be recognized within the Czech Republic.

Review: I contacted this company to obtain a duplicate of my late mother's marriage certificate and an apostille for it (a non-standard situation). Arkadiy provided clear and prompt answers to all my questions, was always available, and kept me informed at every step. The document was ready in the shortest possible time! I highly recommend working with this company!
