An apostille can only be issued in the country where the document was issued. For a document from Azerbaijan that means Azerbaijan’s designated authority; no other country can apostille it. We coordinate the submission in Azerbaijan, the notary reviews your application first, and the document is returned with the apostille – by courier or, where Azerbaijan issues electronic apostilles, as a verified PDF.

Apostille in Azerbaijan: questions
Under Article 6 of the Convention Azerbaijan has designated: Ministry of Justice - for documents emanating from courts, public prosecutors and justice authorities, including documents certified in notarial order and state civil acts registration documents;; Ministry of Foreign Affairs - for other documents;; The Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Azerbaijan in the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic has been authorized to issue apostilles to the documents executed in the territory of Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic of the Republic of Azerbaijan. The notary reviews your application and we route the document to the right office.

The authority’s fee listed with the HCCH: 10 AZN (= US $12,70) Law: Rules for Issuance of a certificate (Apostille) to official documents. Official fees are passed through 1:1 and shown separately from Notaryzer’s service fee in your written quote; nothing is charged before you accept.
The apostille itself is standardised and accepted without translation. The document is in Azerbaijani or Russian; most recipients abroad want a sworn or certified translation into their language, which we add in the same order.
The Convention has been in force for Azerbaijan since March 2, 2005.
