Document legalization – comprehensive support for you
What is document legalization?
Document legalization is the process of authenticating official documents for recognition as valid in another country. This can include personal, commercial, educational or judicial documents. The process varies depending on the country and the purpose of the documents.
Document legalization in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) handles the document legalization for use in countries that are not party to the Hague Convention. As part of this service:
- Seals and signatures on documents are verified.
- The documents must be previously certified by the relevant national authority.
- The process includes civil status records, court documents or official certificates, among others.
Apostille documents in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs
For documents intended for use in countries that are party to the Hague Convention, an Apostille clause is issued instead of traditional legalization. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is responsible for:
- Issuing Apostille for official documents such as marriage certificates, birth certificates and certificates.
- Serving both individuals and companies.
