A Tunisian 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 Tunisia and confirms the capacity of that official. Tunisian Apostille stamps are often required when submitting a Tunisian document, such as a birth certificate, to the authorities of a foreign country or to a foreign embassy in Tunisia (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 Tunisia? Document legalization (or attestation) is a procedure which authenticates a public Tunisian document so that it can be submitted in another country for official or legal purposes - for example, if you need to submit a Tunisian birth certificate to the authority or embassy of another country, it will often need to be legalized. Legalizing a document in Tunisia certifies the authenticity of the signature appearing on the document as that of an authorized public official in Tunisia and confirms the capacity of that official. - Because Tunisia is a member of the Apostille Convention, Tunisian 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 Tunisian document is required for a country that is not a member of the Apostille Convention, it will need to be legalized both by Tunisian authorities and by the embassy of the recipient country (embassy in Tunisia or non-resident embassy accredited to Tunisia).
