Is Austria a Hague Convention country?
Yes. The Apostille Convention has been in force for Austria since 13 January 1968, and for the United States since 15 October 1981 — so a U.S. apostille is accepted in Austria with no embassy step.
The route to Austria
A Federal Employment Records is issued by Office of Personnel Management, a federal authority, so it is authenticated by the U.S. Department of State in Washington, D.C. — never by a state office. For Austria, that apostille is the finish line.
People most often send documents to Austria for residency, employment, marriage. Receiving offices set their own requirements, so confirm what yours asks for — we’ll help you read it.
