Embassy or consulate legalization, also known as consular legalization or authentication, is a process by which official documents issued in one country are certified and recognized as valid for use in another country. This process is typically required for various purposes, such as personal or business transactions, immigration, education, or employment abroad.
The purpose of embassy legalization is to ensure that the document in question is genuine and that the signature or seal on it is authentic. It involves a series of steps to verify the document’s authenticity and attest to its validity. The specific requirements and procedures for legalization can vary between countries.
It’s important to note that not all countries are signatories to the Hague Convention. When the destination country is not a member of the convention, the regular embassy or consulate legalization process may still be required. It is advisable to check the specific requirements of the destination country or consult with the relevant authorities or legal professionals to ensure compliance with the document legalization process.
