Do i need to put apostile on certificate of birth in EU country to be accepted in other EU country?

In most cases, you do not need to put an Apostille on a birth certificate issued by one EU country for it to be accepted in another EU country. This is because EU member states typically recognize each other's public documents without requiring an Apostille or further authentication.

The recognition of public documents, including birth certificates, among EU member states is governed by Regulation (EU) No 2016/1191 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 6 July 2016 on promoting the free movement of citizens by simplifying the requirements for presenting certain public documents in the European Union. This regulation aims to simplify the acceptance and use of public documents in cross-border situations within the EU.

However, there may be some exceptions or specific cases where additional authentication or translation of documents is required. These exceptions can arise when dealing with certain authorities or specific legal procedures, such as marriage or adoption, where additional documentation or certifications may be necessary.

It's always a good practice to check with the relevant authorities or legal professionals in the country where you intend to use the birth certificate to confirm the specific requirements for your situation. They can provide guidance on whether any additional steps, such as translation or certification, are needed.
