How to Get Document Apostille and Legalization in Bangladesh

MOFA e-Apostille, Attestation, and Legalization Process

If you are looking for Apostille Services in Bangladesh for use of your documents abroad, getting the correct authentication process is important. Educational certificates, birth certificates, marriage certificates, police clearance certificates, powers of attorney, and commercial documents may require authentication or Apostille depending on the destination country and purpose. Kazol & Associates provides professional assistance with Apostille, document attestation, legalization, and related documentation requirements for individuals and businesses.

What Is an Apostille and Why Is It Required?

An Apostille is a certificate used to authenticate a public document for use in another country that is covered by the Hague Apostille Convention.

Bangladesh's accession to the 1961 Apostille Convention became effective on 30 March 2025. The Convention is designed to simplify the traditional legalization process by replacing multiple authentication steps with a single Apostille issued by the competent authority of the country where the document originates.

For Bangladesh, the designated competent authority is the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA).

An Apostille may be required when you need to use a Bangladeshi public document in another country for purposes such as:

  • Education or university admission
  • Employment or work-related purposes
  • Immigration and visa applications
  • Marriage or family-related matters
  • Business and commercial transactions
  • Legal or administrative procedures

The exact requirement depends on the country where the document will be used.
