Legalisation of Documents was never easier!

You heard it right. The distance between countries and continents for that matter, is shrinking. We are going out more, be it for business, trade, foreign postings, travel, pleasure or just personal reasons. And what is the first and foremost thing that we need? It is our legal documents. When engaging in any kind of business or trade activity or conducting any business on foreign land, it is vital that we have all documents in hand and all well approved too.

Now, we know the world is getting smaller, businesses are expanding, but for certain international safety purposes it is mandatory to carry legal documents and produce them whenever required. And the laws are still strict, countries have different agreements and requirements, so your documents need to be verified and legalised in most cases for them to hold valid. Read on to know more about the legalisation process.

What is Legalisation?

Legalisation is a process that confirms that any document is issued by someone with a proper authority and that the accompanying signatures are genuine. It is like saying that the documents that are going to vouch for you have been vouched for by a genuine authority, thus making it valid.

Why Legalisation?

Legalisation is often required when the local authority abroad has asks for a document that is going to be recorded as a valid document. Say, you are British Citizen travelling to the middle-east for some business work, it is required by the local governing body that you have UK document authentication or UK documentation legalisation done.

How to Get Legalisation Done?

The basic steps involved are to check if the particular document can be legalised, paying the fee for legalisation after submitting an application form and submitting all the requisite documents. Say, again you are a British Citizen travelling to the middle-eat, so normally you would have to get the document legalised by the Legislation Office in the UK, then have them legalised by the Qatar Embassy in London, then again legalised by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Doha.
