An apostille can only be issued in the country where the document was issued. For a document from Malta that means Malta’s designated authority; no other country can apostille it. We coordinate the submission in Malta, the notary reviews your application first, and the document is returned with the apostille – by courier or, where Malta issues electronic apostilles, as a verified PDF.
Typical requests from Malta concern company formation, residence and iGaming employment. EU member: civil-status documents are exempt; corporate documents need the apostille; English is accepted.
Authority fee: EUR 20 (commercial) EUR 12 (non-commercial) (official fee, passed through 1:1 in your quote)

Apostille in Malta: questions
Under Article 6 of the Convention Malta has designated: Ministry for Foreign and European Affairs. 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 Malta. Non-Convention countries (for example the UAE, Qatar, Egypt) still need consular legalisation.
The authority’s fee listed with the HCCH: EUR 20 (commercial) EUR 12 (non-commercial). 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 Maltese 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 Malta since March 3, 1968.
