### What is a Macedonia Apostille Stamp and why would I need one?
A Macedonia Apostille is a certificate that is affixed to a public document. It certifies the authenticity of the signature appearing on the document as that of an authorized public official in Macedonia and confirms the capacity of that official.
Macedonia Apostille stamps are often required when submitting a Macedonia document, such as a birth certificate, to the authorities of a foreign country or to a foreign embassy in Macedonia (for example, as part of a visa or citizenship application). Apostilles are recognised by the authorities and embassies of countries that are members of the [Hague Apostille Convention](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apostille_Convention)

### What is document legalization in Macedonia?
Document legalization (or attestation) is a procedure which authenticates a public Macedonia document so that it can be submitted in another country for official or legal purposes - for example, if you need to submit a Macedonia birth certificate to the authority or embassy of another country, it will often need to be legalized.
Legalizing a document in Macedonia certifies the authenticity of the signature appearing on the document as that of an authorized public official in Macedonia and confirms the capacity of that official.
- Because Macedonia is a member of the Apostille Convention, Macedonia documents can be legalized by means of an Apostille Stamp when being submitted to countries that are also members of the [Hague Apostille Convention](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apostille_Convention)
- If a Macedonia document is required for a country that is not a member of the Apostille Convention, it will need to be legalized both by Macedonia authorities and by the embassy of the recipient country (embassy in Macedonia or non-resident embassy accredited to Macedonia).
