Bosnia & Herzegovina has applied the Hague Apostille Convention since March 6, 1992. Public documents from other Convention countries – civil-status certificates, diplomas, police certificates, notarial deeds, court decisions and company documents – are accepted in Bosnia & Herzegovina with an apostille from the issuing country, unless an Article 12 objection is in force between the two states. No embassy or consular step is required.
In Bosnia and Herzegovina apostilles are issued by the municipal and basic courts. The country applies the CIEC convention on multilingual civil-status extracts, so birth, marriage and death extracts on the international form from another participating state are accepted without apostille or translation.
Powers of attorney, court decrees, diplomas and company documents need an apostille and a translation by a court interpreter (sudski tumač) into Bosnian, Croatian or Serbian. Common cases are property sales and inheritance by family members living abroad, marriage registration, and Bosnian diplomas, birth certificates and police certificates for work permits and family reunification elsewhere in Europe and beyond.
Notaryzer handles it end to end: the notary reviews your application, we organise the apostille or legalisation in the issuing country, arrange the translation and ship the result to you or directly to the recipient in Bosnia & Herzegovina.
- Use multilingual CIEC extracts for civil-status documents where available
- Powers of attorney for property should match local notarial practice – ask the recipient for their wording
- Translations should come from a court interpreter in Bosnia and Herzegovina
