Legalisation/Attestation of documents

Legalization of Documents

Do you need to have documents legalized?

What is a legalization and what is it used for?

Legalization is a confirmation of the validity of a document, making it ready for official use in another country. Legalization confirms that:

• The document is issued by a competent and legitimate authority.
• The signature and/or stamp on the document is genuine.
• The document is in the correct format.

What is an apostille?

An apostille is a special stamp obtained from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, confirming the validity and authenticity of the document. Apostilled documents are accepted in all countries that have signed the Hague Apostille Convention and require no further legalization or verification in those countries.

For countries that are not members of the Apostille Convention, further legalization by other authorities, such as the respective country's embassy, will be necessary.
