Documents Authentication is the total
process of formalities necessary to make documents originated
in one country or territory ("Source Country") being accepted
as true and correct copies in another one ("Destination Country").
The Le Hague Convention of 1961 abolished the requirement that
a Le Hague member Source Country document destined for a Le
Hague member Destination Country must be authenticated by the
embassy or a consulate official of the Destination Country.
The only requirement is that the document must have an Apostille
applied by the Source Country authorities. (Please, see
the list of The Le Hague Convention of 1961 member countries).
If either the Source Country or the Destination Country is not
a member to The Le Hague Convention of 1961, then usually documents
are certified by a Public Notary and some proper authorities
of the Source Country, and the process is finalized with authentication
in the embassy or consulate official of the Destination Country.
Note.
Authentication is often referred to as 'Legalization'
or 'Certification'.
Our services and fees
We provide authentication by Apostille of corporate documents
for our clients. In such case our standard fee is $US
150 per document. If authentication is ordered with other
services (e.g. incorporation), some discounts may apply (please,
see the General Schedule of Fees).
When authentication for a non Le Hague member Destination
Country is required we can arrange it in most cases as well.
The fees are negotiable. |
