Often when official documents from Mongolia are to be used abroad, the intended recipient requires these documents to go through an authentication process known as an Apostille.
Apostilles authenticate the seals and signatures of officials on public documents such as birth certificates, court orders, or any other document issued by a public authority so that they can be recognized in foreign countries that are members of the Hague Convention Abolishing the Requirement of Legalization for Foreign Public Documents in 1961 which is known as Hague Convention Treaty or Hague Apostille Convention.
Mongolia has been a member of the Hague Apostille Convention since joined on December 31, 2008. It helps that the documents apostilled in Mongolia will be valid in 117 Member States of the Apostille Convention without requiring any re-certification or notarization in the receiving country. However, the apostille certificate originated by Mongolia is not recognized in Austria, Belgium, Finland, Germany and Greece, and vice versa.
The document will often be certified by the foreign ministry of the Mongolia in which the document originated and an embassy or consulate. This apostille only certifies the signature, the capacity of the signer and the seal or stamp it bears. It does not certify the content of the document for which it was issued.
As for apostille, It requires that a copy of original document which originated from Mongolia shall be notarized and translated by a certified translation bureau in the language used in the receiving country. That translation of the document is also required to be notarized in Mongolia for the submission.
The following documents shall be eligible to apostille in Mongolia:
• ID, passport, birth certificate and marriage certificate;
• Reference letter by police and state registration office;
• All types of education certificates or diploma;
• Decision by the court and prosecuter; and
• Administrative documents issued by government agencies of Mongolia.
In general, the apostille certificate is issued within 3 business days from the submission date of the documents.
