Legalisation requirements for Tunisia

Tunisia is a member of the Hague Convention of 1961 and the FCDO Apostille only should suffice for documents to be used in Tunisia.

However, the Consulate still provides attestation of some private documents for use in Tunisia, if required by the local authorities. For commercial documents the FCDO Apostille only is sufficient for use in Tunisia.
