Common Documents for Embassy & Consulate Legalization
Legalization may apply to personal, business, educational,
government, and professional documents intended for use in
countries that require authentication beyond the Hague apostille process.
How Document Legalization Works
Not every document requires every step. The correct sequence depends
on the document, issuing authority, destination country, and embassy
or consulate requirements.

What You Need for Legalization
Legalization vs. Apostille
Embassy & Consulate Legalization
Used when the destination country or receiving authority
requires state, federal, embassy, or consulate authentication
instead of the standard Hague apostille route.
Apostille
If the destination country accepts Hague apostilles,
the document may use the simpler apostille process instead
of embassy or consulate legalization.
