Embassy Legalization Services

International documents that are originated in one country, but are intended for use in another country require embassy legalization to be recognized by the legal system of the foreign country.

Embassy legalization is the alternative method for authenticating a document that is utilized for countries that are Non-Hague Convention countries. These countries do not recognize the Apostille as a means to authenticating documents per the Hague Convention of 1961.

We specialize in handling both the Embassy Legalization and Apostille process for our customers with speed and efficiency.

The process for Embassy Legalization is very much dependent on the type of document and specific requirements of the destination country.

We can very broadly outline the process through the three categories of documents and the procedure required for authentication:

Government Documents

Any documents or certificates issued by a Federal, State or Local government entity.

The Embassy Legalization process for these type of documents includes processing your documents with the US Department of State Authentication Office here in Washington D.C. and the Embassy of the destination country.

Please note, for personal documents like birth, marriage, death and divorce certificates, you must legalize your document with the Secretary of State in the State that your document was issued. If it is in DC, Maryland, or Virginia you may use our expedited services.

General Documents

Are any document or certificate NOT issued by a Federal, State or Local government entity. This is the largest category.

The Embassy Legalization process for these type of documents includes processing your documents with a local Notary (we offer mobile notary services in DC Maryland Virginia), certification by the appropriate Secretary of State (we can travel for you in DC, Maryland), the US Department of State Authentications Office in Washington DC, and the Embassy of the destination country.

Commercial or Shipping Documents

Are documents used for shipping product out.

The legalization/authentication process for Commercial/Shipping documents is variable based on destination country. This is primarily because some Apostille/Hague Convention countries require that you follow a separate legalization process with your shipping documents.

If you don't want to deal with the trouble of learning a particular government office's requirements or worry about missing something or potentially delaying your authentication, apostille or embassy legalization, let us take care of the hassle while you continue to manage your other personal or business matters!

Apostille Services

An apostille is a certification or seal issued by the US Department of State in Washington D.C. or the Secretary of State in your state which certifies your personal and commercial documents.

  • Background Checks (Local, State, FBI)
