What is an Apostille?

For opening account with our correspondent banks one should provide personal identification document copies (passport copy) and signature specimen notarized by Notary Public with an Apostille.

An Apostille is a form of verification issued by Competent Authority in the country verifying the signature and seal of a notary or other public officer, so that the document bearing his/her signature and seal can take effect in countries which have ratified the Hague Convention for the Abolition of Consular Legalization of 1961. It is normally possible to obtain the Apostille on a same day or next day basis.

Where can I get an Apostille?

Please check if your Country has joined Hague Convention of 5 October 1961 Abolishing the Requirement of Legalization for Foreign Public Documents, here!

You can also contact a notary to get an Apostille. Please note, that there are some Countries that has not signed Hague Convention yet and thus no Apostilles can be obtained.

 

Please see apostille sample below:
