Apostilled documents are accepted among all Hague Convention states, however Italy is one of the countries that often asks consular attestation of foreign documents after the apostille procedure and translation. Apostilles for Italy, Spain, Germany, France, Portugal, Austria, Switzerland, Finland, Sweden, Norway, Great Britain, the USA, South Korea and Japan are the top ones in terms of documents formalities for study, employment and immigration there.
