Based on the type of document and the destination Country, you might need to apply for a full legalization process, or just an apostille. This will change the duration and cost of the service.
Specifically
You can request the Apostille on a document only if both countries (issuing and receiving countries) signed the Hague Convention on the Apostille.
For example: a document issued in Italy to be used in the United States will have to be apostilled.
On the other hand, you will have to request a consular legalization at the foreign Embassies located in Italy.
For example: a document issued in Italy to be used in the UAE will have to be legalized at the UAE Embassy in Rome.
To legalize your document, you should first check:
*in some cases, we can verify if a copy of the document to legalize is enough.
The type of document and the Issuing Authority are other factors that may change the cost and time to get your document legalized.
What if I don’t have the original document to legalize?
Don’t worry! Arletti & Partners can also help you apply and get the original document in case you do not have it.
