Legalisation of Documents in Ireland: Your End-to-End Solution

Introduction

When you need to use Irish documents abroad, legalisation is usually a must-have. This process confirms your public documents are authentic, making sure they're accepted by foreign authorities. Without the right experience and connections, trying to navigate legalisation on your own can be a real headache, it's often complex and time-consuming.

The Certification Stage

The first step in document legalisation is usually certification. If your document comes directly from a recognised Irish authority, like the Companies Registration Office (CRO), it might already be good to go for legalisation. Otherwise, you'll need a notary public to certify it.

We take care of this entire stage for you. We'll source the correct version of your document, arrange for notarisation if it's needed, and make sure all the requirements are met from the get-go.

Apostille vs. Embassy Legalisation

After certification, your document needs to go to the Department of Foreign Affairs. Here, it will either receive an apostille or go through full legalisation, depending on where is the final destination of the document is.

• Apostille: If the destination country is a member of the Hague Apostille Convention, an apostille is all you need.

• Embassy Legalisation: For all other countries, full embassy legalisation is typically required.

We coordinate this entire process, including any necessary embassy submissions.
