FAQ | apostille for Finland

Do I need embassy legalisation for Finland?
No. Finland is a Hague Convention member, so an apostille is enough. Embassy or MFA legalisation is normally not required.
Must the document be translated first?
Notarius Publicus does not require a translation for the apostille. Finnish recipients often require an authorized Finnish translation. In bilingual settings Swedish may sometimes suffice, but many authorities want Finnish. We help you decide.
What do I send in?
Original documents plus a copy of your passport ID page. Private documents (e.g. powers of attorney) may need notarisation before apostille.
How long does it take?
Basic typically takes a few business days. Priority and VIP are faster when Notarius Publicus has capacity.
