Document's legalization
Consular legalization of a document is a consular officer's certification that a signature, a seal and duties of the undersigned individual on a document are genuine. Legalization is necessary to allow documents issued in one country to be accepted and used by institutions of other countries.
Documents witnessing education acquired abroad are subject to legalization , if they have been issued in the state having not acceded to the 1961 Hague Convention concerning abolition of legalization requirements of documents issued in foreign countries , or approved by "Apostille" if they have been issued in the state having acceded to the above mentioned Convention.
Legalization requirements:
- Documents shall be translated into the language of the country to which they are to be submitted (or in English);
- The translation shall be fastened to the original document and the fastening shall be certified by a Notary Public in compliance with notaries procedures;
- Copies shall be certified in compliance with notaries' procedures.
