Embassy Legalization

Countries where an apostille is not accepted.

73 countries sit outside the Hague Apostille Convention. Their embassies require a full legalization chain: notarization, state authentication, US Department of State authentication, an Arab Chamber of Commerce stamp for commercial files where required, embassy legalization, and tracked shipment. Choose your country for the exact requirements.
