Legalization (of a document)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In international law, legalization is the process of certifying a document so that it will be recognized by the legal system of a foreign country. The procedure for legalizing a foreign document varies from country to country: the Hague Convention Abolishing the Requirement for Legalisation for Foreign Public Documents has supplanted this procedure with the use of the apostille in countries that are signatories to that convention.
