Embassy legalization is often required for documents that need to be accepted in countries outside the Hague Apostille Convention.
At Apostille Corp, we assist you through the embassy legalization process. Our team makes sure that your documents are properly authenticated and ready for international use in business, visas, and personal matters.
Embassy legalization is the final step in the document authentication process for countries that are not part of the Hague Convention. Some countries require additional validation before they will accept a document as legally valid. This process generally involves two key steps.
The first is certification by the U.S. Department of State. For most documents issued in the U.S., the first step in embassy legalization is obtaining a certificate from the U.S. Department of State. This certifies that the document is valid and has been signed or notarized by the proper authorities.
Then comes legalization by the foreign embassy. Upon obtaining the Department of State certification, the next step is to submit the document to the embassy or consulate of the country where the document will be used. The embassy or consulate verifies the certification. It then affixes its own seal, confirming that the document is valid for use in that country.
This dual process is important for documents like birth certificates, marriage certificates, diplomas, powers of attorney, and legal contracts. Embassy legalization makes sure that these documents are formally recognized by foreign governments.
For countries that are not members of the Hague Apostille Convention, embassy legalization is the only way to confirm that your documents are recognized internationally. The process of legalization can be time-consuming and complex, involving multiple steps across various government entities. Improper handling can lead to missed requirements or steps, which may cause delays or obstacles in your process.
