We can secure an apostille for any document issued by the Czech Republic. Contact us using the details above if you need assistance, and we will outline a plan of action.

Can Czech documents be apostilled outside the Czech Republic?

The short answer is no. The Czech Republic does not have embassies or consulates abroad that provide apostille services.

Only state authorities within the Czech Republic can apostille documents issued there. Czech consulates abroad do not apostille Czech documents because they perform different functions.

There are no embassies or consulates authorized to apostille documents outside the Czech Republic. The original documents must be physically sent to the Czech Republic and submitted to the competent state authority. For a detailed list of these authorities, the types of documents they process, and their contact details (address and business hours), please see this information on our website.

We should also clarify that documents issued by Czech consulates cannot be apostilled abroad; they must also be processed within the Czech Republic by the competent state authorities.

On a positive note, an apostille can be obtained by any third party who is physically present in the Czech Republic and has the original document. No power of attorney is required for this procedure.
