Correct path

The right path for Slovenia

FURS, MIZŠ and the civil registry in Ljubljana, Maribor or Koper want proof the Swedish original is genuine. Apostille is issued by Notarius Publicus in Sweden. Slovenia has no embassy in Stockholm.

Overview

How it works for Slovenia

Slovenian authorities think in registers: matični urad for population records, FURS (Finančna uprava) for tax and davčna številka, MIZŠ for nostrification of foreign degrees, zemljiška knjiga when buying a flat in Ljubljana or Maribor. Forms are in Slovenian; English is rarely enough. We apostille Swedish originals via Notarius Publicus and translate with Kammarkollegiet-authorized Slovenian. A document issued in Slovenia is apostilled there, not by us. This is the document chain, not a visa or residence permit.

When needed

Typical situations in Slovenia

The contact usually comes from matični urad, FURS, MIZŠ, the občina or a Slovenian notar – not from the embassy in Copenhagen:

Nostrification of a Swedish degree at MIZŠ
Flat purchase – extracts for zemljiška knjiga
Sole trader or company papers for a counterparty in Maribor
Power of attorney for an agent before a notar in a property deal in Koper

How a Swedish original reaches Slovenia

The usual chain from review to return. Collapse a step if you want less.

1 Find out who the recipient is

Matični urad, FURS, MIZŠ or zemljiška knjiga sends a checklist. The embassy in Copenhagen is rarely on it.
2 Order the right Swedish original

Skatteverket, a court or a school issues the paper. Copies rarely suffice for nostrification or a property purchase.
3 Translate into Slovenian if needed

MIZŠ and most občine want authorized Slovenian. Kammarkollegiet.
4 Notarise powers of attorney before apostille

If a notar in Ljubljana or Koper is to act for you, the power of attorney must be attested by Notarius Publicus in Sweden first.
5 Apostille and tracked return

Notarius Publicus adds the apostille. You get the original (and translation) back, ready for submission in Slovenia.

Important

Apostille via Notarius Publicus

FAQ

Can the embassy in Copenhagen apostille for me?

No. Slovenia has no embassy in Stockholm. Apostille on Swedish originals is done by Notarius Publicus in Sweden.

Do I need Croatian instead of Slovenian?

No. Slovenian, Croatian, Bosnian and Serbian are separate Kammarkollegiet authorizations. MIZŠ and matični urad want Slovenian.

I already have an apostille – is English enough?

Rarely. FURS and MIZŠ read Slovenian. Apostille proves authenticity; translation makes the content readable.
