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: I'd like to leave my honest review of the work of this company, RusCzech, S.R.O., in Prague, and in particular my interaction with their representative Arkadiy. I'm in Moscow, and today I had a transaction with a notary, involving the documents Arkadiy helped to prepare for in Czech republic. I highly recommend them! Don't even worry, consider your issue is already resolved. Arkady, thank you so much again!
