Authentication chain for Divorce Decree / Divorce Registration bound for Poland
Poland is a member of the Hague Apostille Convention — therefore Divorce Decree / Divorce Registration must pass through: Notary Public → MFA Thailand → Apostille (for Poland).
Once the MFA issues an Apostille, Poland accepts it directly — no further embassy step required, saving 1-2 weeks and embassy fees.
Our team refreshes Poland requirements quarterly to avoid bounce-back on format changes.
