Which court-issued copy do you need?

  1. Official copy from the court

    Prepare a copy issued by the court, bearing a signature and stamp. If the recipient requires a final judgment, request a copy with confirmation of finality. The original remains in the court file.

  2. Scan or portal printout

    It helps us identify the document, but it does not replace a suitable court-issued copy for authentication.

  3. Case number only

    The appropriate court document needs to be obtained first. We will identify the copy needed and agree which work forms part of your order.

Do you need confirmation that the court decision is final?

Yes, if the recipient requires a final decision: you need a court-issued copy with confirmation of finality or the appropriate court certificate. An apostille does not confirm finality or enforceability.

Apply to the court for an official copy with confirmation of finality (odpis ze stwierdzeniem prawomocności). Confirmation of enforceability, required in some enforcement proceedings, is different from proof that the decision is final.

Do you need the divorce judgment or a civil registry document?

A judgment records the court’s decision; a civil registry document records an entry in the civil status register. The recipient specifies which it needs. An apostille on one document does not replace the other document.

  1. Court judgment

    Provide the appropriate court copy and any proof of finality requested.

  2. Civil registry record

    An official civil registry record follows the civil registry apostille procedure. Check that this is the document the receiving institution requests.

Authentication before the MFA apostille

Before submission to the MFA, a court document must be authenticated by the president of the competent regional court. This also applies to documents issued by the regional court itself.

The MFA requirements for court documents specify this prior authentication. An ordinary stamp on the court copy does not replace it. If your document already has the president’s authentication, we check it before arranging preparation.

What does an apostille cover, and what requires a separate procedure?

An apostille authenticates the signature, the signer’s capacity and the stamp; it does not give a court decision legal effect abroad. Divorce registration, recognition of a decision and maintenance enforcement have their own requirements for court copies, certificates and translations.

For example, under Article 25 of the 2007 Hague Child Support Convention, an application for recognition and enforcement includes the complete decision and a document confirming enforceability. Where relevant, it also needs an arrears calculation with its date and evidence of proper notice if the respondent was absent and unrepresented.

Article 41 exempts documents in that procedure from legalisation and similar formalities, so an apostille should not be ordered automatically. Other procedures may require different documents; translation requirements must be checked separately.

Translating the judgment and apostille

Order the translation after the apostille if the translation must include it. Include any required confirmation of finality or certificate of enforceability; the recipient’s procedure determines the language and scope of the translation.

You can order a sworn translation of the judgment. Send any existing translation so we can assess whether it needs an addition.

Frequently asked questions about court decision apostilles

This page covers Polish court decisions. A document issued by a foreign court follows the relevant procedure in its issuing country; recognition in Poland is a separate matter.

Ask the recipient before replacing one with the other. Notarial certification of a copy concerns a different document and is not a universal substitute.

Yes. Start with photographs so we can agree the document needed, the work to be done and delivery of the completed set.

No. Finality is confirmed by the court, for example on an official copy with confirmation of finality. Proof of enforceability for debt collection is a separate matter.

Yes. Tell us the court, case number, date and recipient’s requirements. A suitable court document will be needed to carry out the service.

The recipient determines the required scope. Send its instructions before ordering; do not replace the complete document with an extract without agreement.

No. A Polish court document needs authentication by the president of the competent regional court, even if the regional court issued it. An ordinary stamp on the copy does not replace this step.

Tell us the exact date and where the document is. We will agree the full timing, including preparation, translation and delivery, before starting.

Yes. Send the complete set and the recipient’s requirements. We will agree the certifications, number of copies and total price.

Send clear photographs of every page, signature, stamp and attached authentication. Include the recipient’s written instructions if available.
