No original? Often you do not need one

For company certificates and civil records we order a new original directly from the authority. For private documents such as a power of attorney, a signed PDF is enough: the Seychelles notary prepares the legal original here.

Accepted

Originals issued in the Seychelles
New originals we order from the authority
Documents certified by a Seychelles notary
Signed PDFs, which the notary turns into a legal original

Not accepted

Laminated documents, plain photocopies and printouts of scans. A document issued in another country can only receive an Apostille from that country, unless a Seychelles notary has certified it here.

Common questions

Is the Seychelles a member of the Hague Apostille Convention?

Yes. The Convention of 5 October 1961 has applied to the Seychelles since 1979. A Seychelles Apostille is therefore recognised in every other member state without further legalisation.

Which countries accept a Seychelles Apostille?

All member states of the Hague Apostille Convention, currently more than 120, among them the European Union states, the United Kingdom, Switzerland, the United States, China, India, Japan, Russia, Brazil and South Africa. The Hague Conference publishes the current list.

Can a scan or a PDF be apostilled?

No. The Apostille is attached to a paper original. But for many documents you do not need to hold the original: we obtain a new one from the authority, or a Seychelles notary prepares the legal original from your signed PDF.

How long does it take?

The Supreme Court issues the Apostille within one to three business days. Add one to two days for a notary, one to three days for FSA certificates and four to six days for Civil Status certificates. The order form shows the total for your document.

Is urgent handling possible?

Often, depending on the workload of the court and the notary. Ask us on WhatsApp before ordering, and we confirm whether your date is realistic.
