Apostille was introduced by the convention abolishing the requirement of legalization for foreign official documents drawn up in The Hague on October 5, 1961 (Journal of Laws of 2005, No. 112, item 938) and applies to countries that have adopted this convention.

( legalisation )

Legalisation is a certification that the document has been issued by a proper office - my means of legalization the consul certifies the authenticity of a signature and stamp/seal of a foreign official. Countries that do not recognize the apostille require holders of foreign documents to legalize them. Legalization applies to states non-members of the Hague Convention Abolishing the Requirement of Legalization for Foreign Public Documents of 5 October 1961 (Journal of Laws of 2005, no. 112, item 938).
