The Hague Convention on Apostille/ abbreviation HCCH.

In order to simplify the procedure for legalising documents, the Convention on the Abolition of the Requirement of Authentication of Foreign Public Documents was signed in The Hague, the Netherlands, on 5 October 1961. For the Czech Republic, the Convention on the Abolition of the Requirement of Authentication of Foreign Public Documents (the Hague Convention or the Apostille Convention) entered into force on 16 March 1999 and was published under the number 45/1999 Coll. Czech documents intended to be submitted to the authorities of a state which is a member of the Hague Convention are authenticated by means of a special clause, the so-called “apostille”. An apostille is a special clause in a prescribed format and wording which confirms the authenticity of a signature, seal or stamp.
