What is an apostille?

Answer:

An apostille allows you to prove in Spain that a certain official document is genuine. For example, you need an apostille in case of a transaction at a notary. The Spanish police and the Spanish government also require an apostille for Belgian and Dutch official documents.

At Belgium in principle, the issuer of the source document is the only one who can apply for an apostille via the programme eLegalization. An apostille in Belgium is always a digital document. You will find a QR code on this document to verify its authenticity. Find more information on the FPS Foreign Affairs website here.

At Netherlands you can apply for an apostille through the court itself. The court applies the apostille with a sticker.
