Apostille for Educational Documents in Armenia
If you need to use an Armenian diploma, certificate, or other educational documents abroad, in most cases an apostille is required. This is an international certification that confirms the authenticity of the document and makes it legal for use in countries that have signed the Hague Convention of 1961.
The company Business Liga provides services for obtaining an apostille for Armenian educational documents, helping clients complete the legalization process quickly and without complications.
What is an Apostille?
📌 Apostille is a special stamp that confirms the authenticity of the signature and seal on an official document. It simplifies the process of document recognition in countries that have joined the Hague Convention.
💡 Important! If the destination country is not part of the Hague Convention, consular legalization will be required instead of an apostille.
