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