What is Document Legalization?

To give a document legal force
in another country, it is necessary to undergo
the document legalization procedure.

There are the following procedures
for giving legal force to documents:

Consular legalization is applied to countries that have not signed the Hague Convention of 1961, which introduced the apostille certification procedure.
