Authentication certificates are issued for documents that are to be used in countries that are not members of the 1961 Hague Convention Treaty. Documents requested by these countries require several steps to complete including state, federal, and embassy legalization. Our experienced apostille agents take the confusion and guesswork out of the authentication process. Submit your order today!

Embassy legalization is the final authentication step required for documents going to countries that are not members of the 1961 Hague Convention Treaty.  This process typically takes less than a week but can vary depending on the unique requirements of each country's embassy.
