B) Apostille
Please check if the country issuing your documents is a member of the Hague Convention Abolishing the Requirement of Legalization for Foreign Public Documents here: Website of HCCH. Please check also the list of Non-Member Contracting States.
Documents and translations from these countries must have an official certificate ("apostille") to be recognized in Austria. The apostille is issued by the competent authority as designated by each Contracting State. The Hague Conference on Private International Law (HCCH) website has a list of the competent authorities in each Contracting State here: List of the competent authorities.
The apostille must be on the document itself or on a separate sheet permanently attached to the document. The apostille confirms the authenticity of the signature of the person who issued the document. The apostille also confirms the function of the signatory and, where applicable, the authenticity of any stamp or seal found on the document.
All documents must be submitted in German or English. If the original document was not issued in one of these languages, it must be translated.
Translations must be done by a certified, court-approved translator officially recognized by the issuing country.
More information about the legalisation of documents
C) Full legalization procedures
The mode of full diplomatic legalization is required for documents from all those countries which are neither Contracting Parties to a bilateral agreement with Austria concerning exemption from legalization nor Contracting Parties to the Hague Legalization Convention.
The legalization confirmation must be affixed to the original document. Your documents must first be legalized in the issuing country (the final step in this process is submitting your documents to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the issuing country) before they can be legalized by the competent Austrian representative authority.
Procedure:
1. Legalization by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the country in which the document was issued
2. Legalization by the Austrian consular authorities (embassy or consulate)
Translation
All documents (including syllabi) must be submitted in German or English. If the original document was not issued in one of these languages, it must be translated.
Translations must be done by a certified, court-approved translator officially recognized by the issuing country.
