Document Authentication Services
Official documents that are produced in the U.S. usually are not valid in other
countries until they have been authenticated by the U.S. Government and legalized
by the consulate of the desired country. The full authentication and legalization
process can involve several different government agencies.
CIBT offers complete document authentication and legalization services. The complexity
of the legalization process depends on the country in which each document must be
used. About 50 countries have signed the Hague Convention on Documents, which allows
for an abbreviated legalization process called an
apostille. CIBT can assist with the apostille
process.
In order to use CIBT's Document Authentication Services, send us notarized documents
and a cover letter indicating the services you require. If a document needs to be
legalized for more than one country, send a separate original of the document for
each location.
