What is document legalisation ?
In some situations, an overseas authority may request or require an official document from you to be verified before it can be accepted. The process of getting documents certified like this is known as ‘document legalisation’. Authorities look for certain features of a document for authenticity, for example, signatures, stamps or seals. Document legalisation ensures that the features of your document are verified to the standard required, so other countries will recognise the document. As a professional provider of document legalisation, CLS will ensure your original or copied documents are fit for use, exactly as intended.
