AUTHENTICATION OF DOCUMENTS - APOSTILLE

Documents Authentication is the total process of formalities necessary to make documents originated in one country or territory ("Source Country") being acceptable as true and correct copies in another one ("Destination Country").

The Hague Convention of 1961 abolished the requirement that The Hague member Source Country document destined for The Hague member Destination Country must be authenticated by the embassy or a consulate official of the Destination Country. The only requirement is that the document must have an Apostille applied by the Source Country authorities. (Please, see the list of The Hague Convention of 1961 member countries).

If either the Source Country or the Destination Country is not a member to The Hague Convention of 1961, then usually documents are certified by a Notary Public and some proper authorities of the Source Country, and the process is finalized with authentication in the embassy or consulate official of the Destination Country.

Note.

Authentication is often referred to as 'Legalization' or 'Certification'.
