Certified, notarised and legalised: the differences
These terms describe different processes. The correct choice depends on the receiving authority and destination country.
Start with the receiving authority’s instructions
Ask the organisation receiving the document what it requires. Requirements can differ by authority, country and purpose.
What can change the scope?
Word count, handwriting, stamps, complex formatting, specialist terminology and the required deadline can all affect timing and price.
Avoid preventable delay
- Send every page in order.
- Make sure stamps and notes are legible.
- State the real deadline and receiving organisation.
- Do not send data we do not need.
