Legalization & Apostalization

Conversely, legalization is a more intricate procedure typically used for countries not part of the Hague Apostille Convention. This involves multiple authorities and additional steps to ensure the document's authenticity. Once legalized, these documents are accepted and recognized by the authorities in the receiving country. In summary, if your document is intended for use in a country that is a member of the Hague Apostille Convention, obtaining an apostille suffices for authentication. For countries outside this convention, the legalization process becomes necessary.
