IThe use of foreign public documents (e.g. birth certificate, marriage certificate, high school diploma, university diploma et al) in international legal transactions requires that they be legalized, unless bilateral or multilateral treaties stipulate otherwise. Also subject to legalization are private documents that, once certified by the competent body of the country they were issued in, acquire the status of public documents. It is important to point out that legalization confirms the authenticity of the stamp and signature of the official person, not the content of the document.

 

The Hague Convention of 5 October 1961 Abolishing the Requirement of Legalisation for Foreign Public Documents simplified the legalization procedure so public documents are subject to single authentication by the competent body of the country they were issued in.
