How to check if you need an apostille for Czech documents abroad and otherwise for foreign documents to use in Czech republic

The procedure for recognizing documents between the Czech Republic and each specific country is always individual. We have a verification form below that will provide you detailed information about legalization requirements for documents between the Czech Republic and the selected country. This verification will provide a detailed explanation of whether Czech documents require an apostille for recognition in the selected country. Otherwise, it will also explain how documents from that country will be recognized in the Czech Republic and whether an apostille will be required.

The information obtained as a result of this check will be relevant for any official documents (powers of attorney, applications, certificates, extracts, records from state registers, etc.)

Requirements for document recognition (legalization) are individual between countries, but are always reciprocal. Keep in mind, that if a some country requires documents from the Czech Republic to be certified in a certain way (for example, with an apostille), then the Czech Republic will recognize documents from that specific country in the same manner, symmetrically. Therefore, this form will help clarify information in both directions, both for the use of Czech documents in other countries and for the recognition of foreign documents in the Czech Republic.
