Hague Apostille from the Supreme Court of Seychelles
The Apostille, also known as the Hague Apostille, is a form of certification used in international document traffic. It applies in legal transactions between the member states of the multilateral Hague Convention No. 12 on the exemption of foreign public documents from legalisation.
The apostille certifies the authenticity of the signature, the capacity in which the signatory has acted, and where appropriate the authenticity of the seal or stamp affixed to the document (Article 3 of the Convention). It replaces the legalisation by an embassy between member states of the Hague Convention.
We can have any document apostilled by the Supreme Court of Seychelles.

What an apostille does
Under the Hague Convention of 5 October 1961 an apostille confirms the authenticity of the signature on a public document, the capacity in which the person signed and, where applicable, the seal or stamp. Between the member states it replaces the legalisation by an embassy.
In the Seychelles the apostille is issued by the Supreme Court. We take your document there and receive it back for you.
Good to know
- Documents issued in the Seychelles can be apostilled directly
- Other documents are first certified by a Seychelles notary
- Documents not in English or French need a certified translation
- You receive a scan by e-mail, the original by DHL Express on request
Countries outside the Apostille Convention

Attestation by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs
Some countries do not accept the apostille. For them the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Seychelles first confirms the signature and seal on your document. We can arrange this for any Seychelles document.

Authentication by the embassy
After the ministry, the embassy or consulate of the destination country authenticates the document, so it is accepted there. Tell us the country and we tell you which way applies.

I urgently needed an apostille for some documents and was looking for a long time for a provider in the Seychelles. Here it worked out great although I was a little skeptical at the beginning, if I'm honest. But it was not so much because of the offer or the website. I had previously had big problems with other African providers and am now very happy to have made the other, positive experience. I would like to give my fullest recommendation for Offshore Seychelles to 100%. Thanks again very much to Karl, who provided an excellent service to me.
