Apostilles are required for official documents issued in Estonia (e.g. school diplomas, extracts from a register, notarised authorisation documents) that are to be used in another country that has acceded to the Apostille Convention.
An apostille is a certificate that certifies the capacity in which the person signing the document has acted.
An apostille is attached inseparably to the document. An apostille can be attached to
A document issued in a foreign country that does not include an apostille is invalid and translations of such documents are not certified by a notary.

Notaries certify documents with an apostille regardless of their jurisdiction. However, a notary cannot apostille documents certified or authenticated by him or herself.

In international law, document legalisation is the process of certifying the authenticity of a document issued in one country so that it would also be valid in another country.
A public document must be legalised if it is to be used in a country that is not party to the Convention Abolishing the Requirement of Legalisation for Foreign Public Documents, or in a country with which Estonia has not signed an agreement on mutual legal assistance.
The document is submitted to a competent authority – the consular department of the ministry of foreign affairs or a foreign mission – of one country that verifies the authenticity of the document and thereafter forwards the document to a competent authority – a foreign mission or ministry of foreign affairs – of another country. Legalisation stamps are provided by both countries to certify the authenticity of the document.
