An apostille can only be issued in the country where the document was issued. For a document from Vanuatu that means Vanuatu’s designated authority; no other country can apostille it. We coordinate the submission in Vanuatu, the notary reviews your application first, and the document is returned with the apostille – by courier or, where Vanuatu issues electronic apostilles, as a verified PDF.
Typical requests from Vanuatu concern corporate and citizenship matters. English documents are accepted.
Authority fee: Single sided page document US$50; Double sided page document US$100; and per copy certificate US$25 (Apostille of identical document/same issuing authority) (official fee, passed through 1:1 in your quote)

Apostille in Vanuatu: questions
Under Article 6 of the Convention Vanuatu has designated: 1. The Department of Foreign Affairs;; 2. The Vanuatu Financial Services Commission for public documents falling under its jurisdiction. 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 Vanuatu. Non-Convention countries (for example the UAE, Qatar, Egypt) still need consular legalisation.
The authority’s fee listed with the HCCH: Single sided page document US$50; Double sided page document US$100; and per copy certificate US$25 (Apostille of identical document/same issuing authority). 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 Bislama, English, or French; 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 Vanuatu since July 30, 1980.
