On 14 November, 1967 Austria acceded to The Hague Convention Abolishing the Requirement of Legalization for Foreign Public Documents, which came into force on 13 January, 1968.
Therefore, the documents issued in Austria are subject to a simplified apostilling procedure, thus the documents gain full legal value in Convention member states after notarised translation.
Apostilling usually takes about two weeks.
