Apostille in Shymkent
We obtain the apostille from the competent Kazakh authority so your document is recognised in all member states of the Hague Apostille Convention.
We serve clients in Shymkent (city of republican significance) online and by courier: send scans through the form, and if originals are needed, a courier collects and returns them.
Shymkent, the third city of republican significance, is the trading hub of the south and close to the border with Uzbekistan. Uzbek, Turkish and Russian translations, as well as documents for work and family matters across the border, are in steady demand here.
Kazakhstan has been a party to the Hague Apostille Convention since 30 January 2001. An apostille is a standard certificate that confirms the signature and seal on a public document, so that it can be used in another member state without consular legalization.
Often a translation is also needed — before or after the apostille, depending on the destination country. We plan the order of steps so the document is accepted the first time.

Questions and answers
Do I need to come to an office in Shymkent?
No. Most of the work is done online. When originals are needed, they travel by courier, and interpreters can meet you in Shymkent.
How fast can documents be delivered to Shymkent?
Courier delivery within Kazakhstan usually takes one to three working days, depending on the route. Scans and PDFs are sent the same day they are ready.
Which countries accept an apostille from Kazakhstan?
All states that are parties to the Hague Apostille Convention, including Germany, the USA, Turkey, China (since November 2023), Canada (since January 2024) and Vietnam (since September 2026). Countries outside the convention, such as the UAE or Qatar, require consular legalization instead.
Can the apostille be put on a copy?
For many documents an apostille can be placed on a notarized copy, which lets you keep your original. Some documents, such as certain education or court documents, must be apostilled on the original. We confirm this for your document.
Can you apostille documents issued in another country?
An apostille can only be issued by the country that issued the document. Through ABC Translation offices and partners abroad we arrange apostilles on foreign documents, for example a German or US birth certificate.
