When a document must be used in a country that does not accept apostilles — or when it is issued in a country that is not part of the Apostille Convention — it must be legalized. Legalization is a chain of authentications: typically the issuing authority or a notary, then the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, then the embassy or consulate of the destination country.
Every step has its own requirements, fees and opening hours. We prepare the file, translate where necessary and follow it through each office so that you do not have to queue at ministries and embassies yourself.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between apostille and legalization?
An apostille is a single certificate valid between Hague Convention countries. Legalization is a multi-step process used when the apostille is not available, ending with the stamp of the destination country's embassy or consulate.
