embassy legalizations

Embassy Legalization (Attestation) usually only applies to Non-Hague Convention Countries. Where required, this is the additional and final step of Non-Hague Convention Countries Legalization process. Usually a document that has received a United States Department of State Authentication is presented to the Embassy / Consulate. 

Legalizing documents for Non-Hague Convention Countries generally require additional steps which include:

Secretary of State Apostille*
United States Department of State Apostille**
Embassy Legalization (this step)

All documents destined to receive U.S. Department of State Apostilles that are written in a foreign language must be accompanied by a Translation of the document.

* Some states Apostilles' are issued by the Lieutenant Governor or the Secretary of the Commonwealth instead of the Secretary of State.** Some Federal Documents can be Apostilled by the Clerk of the Court (an authorized Competent Authority).
