🌍 Document Legalization & Embassy Attestation Services – Authentication for Non-Hague Countries
Get your documents legalized and attested for use in non-Hague Convention countries. Our comprehensive embassy legalization service handles the complex multi-step authentication process required for countries like UAE, Vietnam, Saudi Arabia, and other nations requiring consular attestation.
🏛️ What is Document Legalization & Attestation?
Document legalization, also known as embassy attestation, is the multi-step authentication process required for documents destined for countries that are not members of the Hague Apostille Convention. Unlike the simplified apostille process, legalization requires authentication at multiple levels: state, federal, and finally at the specific country’s embassy or consulate.
Long Island Notary Services has mastered the intricate legalization process for over 50 non-Hague countries. Our experienced team navigates the complex requirements of each embassy, from the UAE’s strict attestation procedures to Vietnam’s specific documentation needs, ensuring your documents are properly authenticated for international acceptance.
Whether you’re establishing a business in the Middle East, teaching in Southeast Asia, getting married abroad, or handling international legal matters, our full-service legalization eliminates the complexity and ensures your documents meet all requirements for your destination country.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What’s the difference between apostille and legalization?
A: Apostille is a simplified one-step authentication for Hague Convention countries. Legalization requires multiple steps including state, federal, and embassy authentication for non-Hague countries. Legalization typically takes longer and costs more due to the additional steps.
Q: Do I need translations for legalization?
A: Many embassies require certified translations. We coordinate with certified translators for Arabic, Vietnamese, Thai, and other languages. Translation is quoted separately based on document length and language.
Q: Can you expedite embassy processing?
A: Yes, many embassies offer expedited services. UAE, Qatar, and several others provide same-day processing for an additional fee. Contact us to check current availability for your destination country.
Q: What if my document is rejected by the embassy?
A: Our expertise minimizes rejection risk. If an embassy requires additional documentation or corrections, we handle it at no extra service charge. You only pay additional government fees if required.
Q: Do you handle documents for all non-Hague countries?
A: We work with over 50 embassies and consulates. For countries with no U.S. diplomatic presence, we can advise on alternative authentication methods through third countries.
