Also called the “Apostille” Convention, this international treaty established a list of specific requirements regarding document legalization if the documents are meant to be used abroad.
Thus, in order to be recognized and accepted by official authorities in Belarus, the preparation of documents originated in the USA or notarized by an American Notary should be finalized by obtaining an Apostille Certificate (Apostille Stamp). Apostille simplifies document legalization procedure, because apostilled documents are exempt from further legalization by the consular establishments of Belarus.
