Bangladesh joins the Apostille Convention: what changes

Detail

What changed

Bangladesh acceded to the Convention on 29 July 2024.¹

Since 30 March 2025, a public document from Bangladesh 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 Bangladesh.¹

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