INTERNATIONAL LEGALIZATION

Extra Steps for International Documents

When you’re using an official document overseas, or a foreign document in the U.S., you’ll have to officially verify the document’s certifications and seals. 

Verification steps vary everywhere, but generally include simple government agency authentication; legalization, which requires multiple-agency verification; and Apostille Certificates, a streamlined verification attachment that’s accepted by more than 110 countries.

Documents often requiring legalization include:

  • Corporate documents.
  • Notarized contracts.
  • Trademark assignments.
  • IRS Good Standing Certificates.
  • Certificates of listing on a foreign exchange.

International Expertise

Understanding where, what and how to file in a foreign country is an extremely complex challenge because requirements, fees and political considerations vary all over the world.

Get a simpler solution, from pricing to processing. Up to four documents are verified with the same authority at no additional charge, by a team that understands the process and international embassy quirks. We’ll even keep you updated with important regulation and policy changes in the locations where you do business.
