allowing to submit public documents (diplomas and other education documents) issued in a Contracting State to the authorities of the other Contracting State without further verification. - Apostille verification
Signatories to the Hague Convention - Multilateral Contract for the Simplification of Authentication of Foreign Public Documents - The authenticity of signatures and stamps on original documents must be verified by Apostille. Apostille is issued by an authorized state authority (the so-called apostille office) in which the document was issued. A list of apostille offices is available on the Hague Conference website - Superlegalization
The authenticity of signatures and stamps on the original documents must be verified by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the state, where the university which issued the document is located, or by the relevant foreign authority, and the relevant Czech embassy in the country, where the university which issued the diploma is located.
The question of legalization and superlegalization of diplomas and documents on the completion of studies abroad can be consulted with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Czech Republic, Department of Legalization of Documents of the Consular Department.
