Consular Legalisation

Documents for use in a country that is not party to the Apostille Convention need consular legalisation (a chain of certifications). The document is first certified by the competent Turkish authorities and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, then by the destination country's consulate in Türkiye. We run this multi-step process from start to finish on your behalf.

The legalisation chain step by step

1) Preparing the original or a notarised copy, 2) certified and notarised translation where required, 3) certification by the competent Turkish authority, 4) certification by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, 5) legalisation by the destination country's consulate or embassy. Some countries additionally require a final certification by their own foreign ministry.
