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: Good day everyone! We contacted Rus Czech for help with sorting out several years of accounting and closing our long-dormant company. Huge thanks to Arkadiy. It was so easy to work with him! Everything was done professionally, clearly, and he was always available. They handled everything perfectly and sent the documents! I especially liked that payment was only due after receiving the results. A truly reliable company! I’d recommend them to anyone! Once again, a huge thank you to them!!!
