Legalization and verification
Legalization - verification of documents and assistance with documents for abroad
Document legalization is an official verification of the authenticity of the signature on the document. This process confirms that the person mentioned in the document actually signed it.
How does the legalization process work? The person whose signature is being verified must be present and sign the document in front of the official, providing a valid ID. The official will confirm the authenticity of the signature by adding a legalization statement.
If you need to submit a public document issued by a Czech authority in a foreign country, it is usually required for the document to have a higher level of verification. We are happy to assist you with the higher verification of documents and ensure the process is carried out according to the requirements of the destination country.
What are the types of higher verification?
There are two types of higher verification – apostille and superlegalization. If the destination country is a signatory of the Hague Convention, a simplified verification in the form of an apostille is sufficient. For other countries, a higher level of verification is required, meaning the document must be superlegalized by the consulate or embassy of the respective country.
The most commonly verified documents include civil registry certificates, educational certificates, criminal record extracts, or tax authority confirmations.
Please provide us with as much information as possible – what document it is, for what purpose, and in which country the document will be used.
