According to the Judiciary of Hong Kong, in Hong Kong, the standardized document apostille fee costs HKD 125 per document. This fee is presumed to be charged under the High Court of Hong Kong’s ordinary processing rates since this authority is the competent authority under the Hague Apostille Convention for the issuance of apostilles. It can be either lower or higher than this final cost depending on the kind of document and/or the services availed by a person.
Other documents, such as legal agreements, educational certificates, and commercial records, may require different processing and could therefore attract varied charges. An application shall be more expensive if the expedited services sought to have a higher amount going for its processing. Similarly, any extra certified copies requested entail extra costs.
To apply for an apostille in Hong Kong, one needs to submit the original document to the High Court, fill in the required forms, and pay the necessary fees. The processing time depends on the type of service chosen, and there are urgent processing options if the case is urgent.
