France school-leaving certificate apostille: questions
Chambers of notaries (competent authority since 2025). Issued by: Université / rectorat / ministry – Some recipients require a certified true copy (copie certifiée conforme) first.
Yes. The apostille must be issued in France, but you do not have to be there: we organise a suitable original where possible, the submission to the competent authority and delivery of the apostilled school-leaving certificate anywhere. The notary reviews your application first.
An Article 12 objection is in force between France and Bangladesh and Kosovo; documents for these countries are legalised or verified instead. Non-Convention countries such as the UAE, Qatar and Kuwait always need legalisation.
The HCCH record lists: Pour les apostilles délivrées par les conseils régionaux et les chambres interdépartementales de notaires Pour les personnes physiques - 10 euros par acte si la demande de délivrance concerne jusqu’à trois actes (20 euro. Official fees are passed through 1:1 and shown separately in your quote.
No. Schools can issue certified copies but the apostille comes from the designated authority of the country after the education authority confirms the signature. We coordinate both steps.
The school or the education authority can issue a replacement certificate or certified copy, which can then be apostilled. We handle the request with your authorisation.
The UK is a Convention party independent of EU rules, so apostilles are the standard in both directions. Whether a particular university insists on it varies – we ask for you if you are unsure.
