Apostille accepted between A and B
Is the Hague Apostille Convention (1961) in force between A and B — will an apostilled document from one be accepted in the other without consular legalisation?
- How to read a cell
- Whether an official document from one country only needs an apostille stamp to be accepted in the other, instead of full consular legalisation. 'Both parties, not between them' means one country objected to the other joining, so it does not work between them. “No data” means the source has no figure for that pair — the note in the cell says why; “not applicable” means the question does not arise for that pair.
- Reliability
- high — HCCH status table plus every Article 12 objection page, hand-coded; withdrawn objections dated in the cell; Hong Kong and Macao via China; China's 2016 objection to Kosovo (made for Hong Kong and Macao) also applied to the mainland — conservative
- Answered
- 100 % of 39,402 directed cells have an answer; the rest say why not
- Refresh
- yearly (accessions and objections continue)
- Credit

The table
Rows are country A, columns country B; the two-letter codes are the usual country codes (AM = Armenia, DE = Germany…). Hover a cell to see the full value and its note. A dash means “no” or “nothing recorded”; a striped cell means either “no data” (the source has no figure for this pair — the note says why) or “not applicable” (the question makes no sense for this pair, for example a sea route for two landlocked countries). “All regions” on both sides shows the whole table.
