BE PREPARED

​

  • If the document(s) do not have the correct notarization, when needed, we won't be able to get the request processed.

  • Once a document is authenticated, it must be certified by the foreign jurisdiction to be valid there. This process, called legalization, usually occurs at the country’s embassy or consulate, and can be considered the final step in the authentication process. However, Authentication and Legalization can be a very time-consuming processes.

​

Anticipate delays: Getting a document legalized can take a while. You will be at the mercy of government agency and embassy schedules. And we’ll have little to no control over a document once it’s been submitted

DOCUMENT TRANSLATION
The U.S. Department of State Office of Authentications requires all documents to be in their original format and in English.
​

To be eligible for authentication, any documents submitted to the U.S. Department of State that are not in English must have a notarized and certified English translation attached.
