Frequently Asked Questions
Does a document submitted to Tunisia require an apostille?
Tunisia has been a member of the Apostille Convention since it took effect on 2018-03-30, so Korean public documents meeting the Convention's requirements can generally be submitted with just an apostille. However, some contracting states have raised objections to Tunisia's accession, so it is best to confirm current acceptance status with the receiving agency.
Where do you get an apostille for Tunisia documents?
Apostilles are issued by Tunisian Notaries (private notaries), with the Ministry of Justice serving as the contact point.
