Documents being presented for use in a country not party to the Hague Convention (relating to apostilles) will often request further legalisation and possibly embassy attestation. This usually involves having an apostille attached to the document and then carrying out further legalisation through that country's embassy. This can add considerable complexity to the process as all embassies have different procedures and costs. It is also advisable to ask the person or authority to that you intend to present the document what their exact requirements are. We have many years of experience in dealing with embassies of various countries, so you can rely on us to provide the service of legalising documents for your particular destination country.
