Authentication by legalization is the process of certifying a legal document for use in a foreign country. A foreign country's legal system will recognize this document with full legal effect. In most cases, the process begins with notarization. Please ensure that the documents you are submitting for processing are already notarized.

Legalization of documents

Legalization is a form of document authentication that is sometimes required by foreign governments in order to cross their borders. If you plan to use a U.S., UK, or India issued document while traveling overseas, authorities may necessitate that it be legalized in order to be considered valid. All countries have different legalization requirements. Contact VisaHQ if you have any questions regarding your situation.

Documents that frequently require legalization include:

  • Academic documents, such as degrees and diplomas
  • Birth and marriage certificates
  • Divorce decrees
  • Business contracts
  • Certificates of Incorporation
    • Certificates of No Impediment
    • Documents issued by British Overseas Territories
    • Export certificates
    • Religious documents, such as baptism certificates

Legalization requires multiple steps

Document legalization frequently requires the involvement of multiple entities. You will probably have to contact your local or state government, the U.S. government, and your destination country’s Embassy.
