Consular and embassy legalisation

If the destination country is not party to the Hague Apostille Convention, the document must go through consular legalisation (in Czech, superlegalizace). It is a chain of certifications: first the relevant Czech authority, then the Czech Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and finally the consulate or embassy of the destination country.

Why let us handle legalisation

Every embassy has its own rules: opening hours, forms, fees, translation requirements and processing times. Some require a translation into their official language, others require personal submission. We keep track of these requirements and know what to watch for.

We handle the communication with the authorities, submission and collection, and deliver the finished documents to you. No time off work and no queues.

Embassy certification

Besides legalisation, we also arrange other embassy services – such as certification of a signature or translation by the embassy, where the receiving institution requires it.

Frequently asked questions

How long does consular legalisation take?

It depends on the destination country – some embassies certify on the spot, others take several weeks. We give you a realistic deadline in advance.

What is the difference between an apostille and legalisation?

An apostille is a one-step certification for Hague Convention countries. Consular legalisation is a multi-step procedure for other countries, ending with certification by their embassy or consulate.
