Apostille
Apostille is a certification that the document has been issued by a proper office - apostille certifies the authenticity of a signature and stamp/seal of a foreign official. This allows you to use a foreign official document in Poland.
Poland and Malawi, are parties to the Convention Abolishing the Requirement of Legalisation for Foreign Public Documents, signed in the Hague on 5 October 1961.
This means it is enough to obtain the apostille at a local office to use a document from Malawi in Poland.
Apostille on documents issued in Malawi is attached by authorities listed on the HCCH website.
The consul is not engaged in any way in obtaining the apostille.
If a foreign authority requires the apostille on a Polish document, please read the information available on Polish MFA website.
