A Moroccan 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 Morocco and confirms the capacity of that official. Moroccan Apostille stamps are often required when submitting a Moroccan document, such as a birth certificate, to the authorities of a foreign country or to a foreign embassy in Morocco (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) For more information on Apostilles, see: [The ABCs of Apostilles (PDF)](https://assets.hcch.net/upload/abc12e.pdf) ### What is document legalization in Morocco? Document legalization (or attestation) is a procedure which authenticates a public Moroccan document so that it can be submitted in another country for official or legal purposes - for example, if you need to submit a Moroccan birth certificate to the authority or embassy of another country, it will often need to be legalized. Legalizing a document in Morocco certifies the authenticity of the signature appearing on the document as that of an authorized public official in Morocco and confirms the capacity of that official. - Because Morocco is a member of the Apostille Convention, Moroccan 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 Moroccan document is required for a country that is not a member of the Apostille Convention, it will need to be legalized both by Moroccan authorities and by the embassy of the recipient country (embassy in Morocco or non-resident embassy accredited to Morocco).
