Consular legalization is a formal procedure used to certify the authenticity of documents. It includes certifying the official seal and signature on the document.
Legalization is used:
-
In exchanging documents with foreign business partners
-
In operating foreign representative offices, and
-
In communicating with foreign authorities
Aside from that, it may be necessary to legalize a degree certificate when entering a university in a country that’s not a signatory to the Hague Convention as of October 5, 1961. In those countries that have signed the Hague Convention, documents can be legalized through a simplified procedure, i.e., using an apostille.
