An apostille can only be issued in the country where the document was issued. For a document from Albania that means Albania’s designated authority; no other country can apostille it. We coordinate the submission in Albania, the notary reviews your application first, and the document is returned with the apostille – by courier or, where Albania issues electronic apostilles, as a verified PDF.
Typical requests from Albania concern family and property matters. Albanian registries and notaries accept apostilled foreign documents; translations into Albanian are usually certified by an Albanian notary or consulate.
Authority fee: Albanian documents: 200 lek (± 1.6 €) Foreign documents: reciprocity (official fee, passed through 1:1 in your quote)
