An apostille can only be issued in the country where the document was issued. For a document from Hong Kong that means Hong Kong’s designated authority; no other country can apostille it. We coordinate the submission in Hong Kong, the notary reviews your application first, and the document is returned with the apostille – by courier or, where Hong Kong issues electronic apostilles, as a verified PDF.
Typical requests from Hong Kong concern company formation, banking and employment. Hong Kong has applied the Convention since 1965 via the UK; English documents are accepted without translation.
Where an apostille from Hong Kong is not enough
No Contracting State has an objection in force against Hong Kong: the apostille is accepted in every other Convention country. Non-Convention countries (UAE, Qatar, Egypt, Iraq …) still require consular legalisation.

Apostille in Hong Kong: questions
Hong Kong designates its competent authorities under Article 6 of the Convention; the notary reviews your application and we route the document to the right office.
In every other Contracting State – no objection is in force against Hong Kong. Non-Convention countries (for example the UAE, Qatar, Egypt) still need consular legalisation.
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 Chinese or English; 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 Hong Kong since July 1, 1997.
