In the business environment, streamlining processes and eliminating bureaucratic barriers are crucial. A notable example is by expediting the circulation of crucial documents between EU member states. A notable example is Regulation (EU) 2016/1191, an essential component for facilitating employee/international mobility and hence, business operations in the European Union. This regulation simplifies the requirements for presenting public documents, benefiting employees and the businesses they work for by expediting the circulation of crucial documents between EU member states.
Impact of Regulation on Documents in EU jurisdictions
This regulation directly impacts key documents for businesses. This regulation facilitates an efficient process for businesses to move their personnel between different EU jurisdictions, allowing for the recognition of public documents such as marriage certificates, birth certificates, and police clearance certificates without need to legalize them. However, as with any legal framework, there are nuances and exceptions that must be considered to ensure a seamless workflow.
A relevant exception to the blanket exemption from document legalization applies to police clearance certificates. While these certificates generally do not require legalization when issued in an EU country, the exemption only applies to individuals who are nationals of the issuing country. For example, a French citizen can present their French police clearance certificate in Spain without prior legalization, but a non-national, such as a Brazilian citizen, would need an Apostille.
