Apostille for Albania – What You Need to Know

To use a U.S. document in Albania, it must be certified with an Apostille. Albania is a member of the Hague Convention, which means it recognizes the Apostille as the official method for legalizing foreign documents.

An Apostille certifies the authenticity of a state notary’s or county official’s signature on your document. Once apostilled, your document is legally valid for use in Albania—no need for additional legalization through the Albanian Embassy or Consulate.

Common U.S. Documents Apostilled for Use in Albania:

• Birth Certificates

• Marriage Certificates

• Divorce Decrees

• Diplomas and Transcripts

• Power of Attorney

• Single Status Affidavits

• FBI Background Checks

• Adoption Documents

• Business and Corporate Records

For countries that are not part of the Hague Convention, a different process called Authentication is used. But for Albania, the Apostille is all that’s needed.
