A Uzbek Apostille is a certificate that is affixed to a public document. It certifies the authenticity of the signature appearing on the document as that of an authorized public official in Uzbekistan and confirms the capacity of that official.

Uzbek Apostille stamps are often required when submitting a Uzbek document, such as a birth certificate, to the authorities of a foreign country or to a foreign embassy in Uzbekistan (for example, as part of a visa or citizenship application). Apostilles are recognised by the authorities and embassies of countries that are members of the Hague Apostille Convention

Document legalization (or attestation) is a procedure which authenticates a public Uzbek document so that it can be submitted in another country for official or legal purposes - for example, if you need to submit a Uzbek birth certificate to the authority or embassy of another country, it will often need to be legalized.

Legalzing a document in Uzbekistan certifies the authenticity of the signature appearing on the document as that of an authorized public official in Uzbekistan and confirms the capacity of that official.

• Because Uzbekistan is a member of the Apostille Convention, Uzbek documents can be legalized by means of an Apostille Stamp when being submitted to countries that are members of the Hague Apostille Convention
  See: What is a Uzbek Apostille Stamp?
• If a Uzbek is required for a country that is not a member of the Apostille Convention, it will need to be legalized both by Uzbek authorities and by the embassy of the recipient country (embassy in Uzbekistan or non-resident embassy accredited to Uzbekistan).
