《海牙取消認證公約》附加證明書制度及其在我國的適用探析

Analysis on the Apostille of the Apostille Convention and Its Application in China

《海牙取消認證公約》作為海牙國際私法會議主持下最成功的國際條約之一，其核心為附加證明書制度。該制度是代替領事認證且具有證明職能的獨立機制，在全球公文書認證的簡化方面卓有成效。目前，我國已加入《海牙取消認證公約》，為了切實推進附加證明書制度的落地，我國面臨如何將其與我國法律銜接，如何補充其規則，以及如何使其與相關條約兼容等一系列問題。結合附加證明書制度的相關規則與現實國情，我國應將《領事認證辦法》改名為《文書證明辦法》，並加入附加證明書專章，以銜接國內法律和補充其規則，並適用條約解釋和《海牙取消認證公約》第3條實現與相關條約的兼容。
