Statute overview

About this statute

The Regulation exempts covered public documents and certified copies from legalisation and similar formalities, simplifies translation/copy requirements, and requires Member States to designate central authorities. This provision requires central authorities and Member States to exchange and provide information through IMI, and sets reporting, publication, review, and application dates for the Commission and Member States. This form is only for attaching to a public document, and the issuing authority must fill it using only information from that public document. This provision provides multilingual standard forms for public documents and says the form is only a translation aid, not a standalone document. This annex provides a multilingual standard form for marriage documents, listing the fields to be filled in and translation aids for those fields.
