What is Document Legalisation?
Document legalisation is the process of having a document verified and authenticated so that it can be accepted by an authority, institution, embassy, consulate or other organisation in another country.
The exact procedure depends on:
-The type of document
-Where the document was issued
-The country where it will be used
-Whether the destination country requires authentication
-Whether embassy or consular legalization is required
-Whether a certified translation is required
-Whether additional attestation is required after arrival
-Every country has its own requirements. We assess your documents and advise you on the appropriate process before submission.
