Documents issued in one country which need to be used in another country must be "authenticated" or "legalized" before they can be recognized as valid in the foreign country. This is a process in which various seals or stamps are placed on the document.

The sole function of the legalization is to certify the authenticity of the signature on the document; the capacity in which the person signing the document acted; and the identity of any stamp or seal affixed to the document.

The Non Hague Contries

The following countries are not part of the Hague Convention and documents being sent to these countries must be legalized or Certified via their embassy or consular office.

Embassy Legalization or Consular Certification takes much longer to process and tends be more expensive. Some consular offices charge as much as $600.00 or as little as $1.00 for their Stamp.

Not all Embassy or consular offices are located in New York City who can legalized documents. If they are not located in NYC they will require special courier service in Washington, DC to complete the legalization. Or other arrangements can be made if you do not require this expedited service. Each document is different and may require additional time for traveling between locations to get the document legalized.

The US Department of State Authentication of documents takes approximately 20 business days to process from the time of receipt. Since the US Post service is screening all mail it could delay the process even more.

If you are in a rush for your documents I would recommend you use our Expedited service to & from Washington DC. This will only take 1 business day for the US Department of State and whatever time the embassy requires for their work to be process.
