Algeria joins the Apostille Convention: what changes

Detail

What changed

Algeria acceded to the Convention on 5 November 2025.¹

Since 9 July 2026, a public document from Algeria only needs an apostille to be used in another member country, and documents from other member countries only need an apostille to be used in Algeria.¹

Other member countries could object to the accession. Between Algeria and a country that objected, the Convention does not apply, so check the specific pair of countries.¹
