This certificate can be used to settle official proceedings in connection with the adopted child. 

The certificate is valid for 2 years and ends with the court decision on the international adoption. If the procedure has not been completed within the 2 years, the certificate can be extended by 1 year on request.

								    

									    Requirements
  • The certificate of international mediation is only required if there is no certificate under the Hague Adoption Convention.
