Is the Attestation process the same for all documents?

The legalisation of documents will not only vary depending on the country you need them processed for, but also on the country of origin, and the type of document that needs legalising. For example, documents such as birth or marriage certificates will not require certification by a notary, whereas passports or educational ones usually will.

Generally the attestation process includes:

• Certification of the document by a solicitor/Notary Public
• The addition of an Apostille
• Consular Legalisation by the country where the document will be used

These three steps are usually standard for all documents, regardless of where you're from. There may be additional steps required for documents you need to attest. Commercial documents are also treated differently.
