Legalisation vs Authentication vs Apostille
Requirements depend on the destination authority. Some countries accept an apostille; others require embassy legalisation after local authentication. We’ll confirm the exact chain for your case.
Embassy legalisation
- Usually follows notarisation and ministry authentication.
- Embassy affixes a stamp/seal confirming the signature/authentication.
- Common for the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and some non‑Hague countries.
Authentication
- May require notarisation or issuing‑body verification first.
- Forms the middle of the chain before embassy legalisation.
- Applicable to education, civil status, and corporate records.
- Single certificate replaces embassy legalisation for Hague countries.
- We’ll advise if your destination authority accepts an apostille.
- Timelines and costs differ by document type.
