What Is Embassy Attestation?
Embassy attestation is consular legalization by the embassy or consulate of the destination country, usually after the document has completed prior local attestations.
Why It Matters
Many non-Hague countries require embassy attestation before a document can be accepted by government authorities, banks, courts or employers.
Important: Embassies may reject documents if the sequence of previous stamps is incomplete or if translation requirements are not met.
