Authentication, Legalization & Apostille Services

Of the signatures on your documents by the originating jurisdiction, followed by document legalization at the consulate or embassy of the destination country. US Department of State Authentication is also often a necessary step in this process.

Your first step is going to be to know which type of certification you require. You’ll need apostille services if your destination country is a part of the Hague Convention and document authentication and legalization services if the country is not.
Requirements for getting your certification, regardless of which type it is, are set by the destination country and vary from nation to nation. DOCAACER has specialists on the ground around the world and can help you navigate the different requirements across jurisdictions with ease.
