The legalization process can be delayed for weeks simply because of small details that are overlooked. Avoid these five mistakes.
- Wrong legalization order. Each authority (Ministry of Law and Human Rights, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ministry of Religious Affairs, embassies) has a specific order that must not be skipped.
- Non-sworn translation. Many authorities only accept work from sworn translators.
- Source document not notarized. Some documents must be notarized first.
- Inconsistent data. Differences in name spelling between documents often trigger rejection.
- Not accounting for time. Embassy schedules vary; submit well in advance.
