Document background
The Apostille Authorization Letter is a crucial document used in Belgium when an individual or organization needs to delegate the authority to obtain apostille certification for official documents. This document type became particularly important after Belgium's participation in the Hague Apostille Convention of 1961, which standardized the procedure for document authentication between signatory countries. The letter must specify the scope of authorization, identify both the authorizing and authorized parties, and list the documents requiring apostille certification. It's commonly used in international business transactions, educational document verification, legal proceedings, and personal matters requiring authenticated documents. The authorization letter must comply with Belgian legal requirements and may need to be notarized depending on the nature of the documents and their intended use.
