Authentication Process for Submission to Tunisia

How do you prepare Korean documents for submission to Tunisia? The basic flow is as follows.

① Document issuance→ ② Notarization (for private documents)→ ③ Check if French/Arabic translation is needed→ ④ Apostille→ ⑤ Submit to the receiving agency in Tunisia
Since the Convention took effect in 2018, Tunisia generally uses the single-step apostille process. However, some contracting states have raised objections to Tunisia's accession, so it is safest to check with the receiving agency whether they accept an apostille.

Guide by Purpose for Submission to Tunisia

Required documents vary by receiving agency and situation, so the following are representative documents for reference only and not a definitive list.

Issuing agency

A notable feature of Tunisia is that apostilles are issued by Tunisian Notaries (private notaries), with the Ministry of Justice serving as the contact point.

Electronic apostille, translation, and fees

Whether an electronic apostille system is operational, the certified-translator registration system, and fees were not confirmed in this research and require verification.

Because apostilles are issued by private notaries rather than a government office, please confirm the exact intake process and fees directly with a Tunisian Notary or the Ministry of Justice before proceeding.
