Using Turkish documents in Mexico
The Convention entered into force for Mexico on 14 August 1995. Public documents issued in Türkiye are generally accepted by the authorities in Mexico with an apostille; no consular legalisation is needed.
Authorities in Mexico usually ask for a certified translation into Spanish. Some accept a Turkish sworn translation that has been notarised and apostilled; others prefer a translation by a sworn translator in Mexico. Thanks to our international network we can offer both options.
Using documents from Mexico in Türkiye
Documents issued by authorities in Mexico must first receive an apostille in Mexico. They are then translated into Turkish by a sworn translator in Türkiye and notarised if the receiving institution requires it. Our international network can take care of the apostille for you.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is an apostille enough for Mexico?
Yes – Mexico is party to the Apostille Convention, so an apostille is sufficient for most documents. We also check additional requirements of the receiving authority, such as the translation language.
How long does legalisation for Mexico take?
It depends on the document, the certifications needed and, where applicable, appointment availability at the mission. We give you a realistic timeline after reviewing your file.
Which language should the translation be in?
Usually the official language of Mexico (Spanish). Some authorities also accept English; tell us where you are applying and we will confirm the right language.
