In international law, legalization is the process of certifying a document so that it will be recognized by the legal system of a foreign country. The process is used routinely in international commerce.
The procedure for legalizing a foreign document varies from country to country. The Hague Convention Abolising the Requirement for Legalisation for Foreign Public Documents (Hague Apostille Convention) has supplanted this procedure. It ffacilitates the circulation of public documents executed in one signatory countries to the Convention and to be produced in another signatory states to the Convention, such a certification is called an apostille.
Apostille is a French word which means a certification. It is commonly used in English to refer to the legalization of a document for international use under the terms of the 1961 Hague Convention Abolising the Requirement for Legalisation for Foreign Public Documents Documents which have been notarized by a notary public, and certain other documents, and then certified with a conformant apostille are accepted for legal use in all the nations that have signed the Hague Convention.
