Legalisation
Documents for Austria: translation and consular legalisation
A Kyrgyz apostille is not accepted in Austria, so consular legalisation is required: notarisation, authentication by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Kyrgyz Republic and legalisation at the embassy or consulate of Austria.
Step by step
- Notarisation
- Translation into German
- Authentication by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs
- Legalisation at the embassy or consulate
- Delivery of the finished documents
Austria objected to Kyrgyzstan's accession to the Apostille Convention, so documents for Austria need consular legalisation rather than an apostille.
Requirements can change and vary between institutions. We confirm the current requirements before starting every order.
Documents from Austria for use in Kyrgyzstan
Documents from Austria must be legalised in that country (usually via the competent Kyrgyz consulate) before use in Kyrgyzstan. We then provide the notarised translation into Kyrgyz or Russian.
Documents we handle
- Diplomas and academic documents (for employment)
