What is document legalization?
Document legalization is a term used to describe the process of obtaining the signature and seal of a foreign embassy or consulate on a document, so that this document will be officially recognized in that country. In the United States, the document legalization process is used exclusively on documents destined for the relatively small number of countries that have not signed the Hague Apostille Convention. US documents destined for countries that have signed the Hague Apostille Convention will go through the apostille process instead of the legalization process.

What our clients are saying
I am very happy with the service your company has provided. I found this service invaluable as my impending foreign service assignment has been delayed several times due to paperwork issues and the legalization of my marriage certificate had the makings of another long bureaucratic delay if not for your expedited service.

My interaction with IDC was fantastic. I loved everything about the service; you guys were prompt, kind, professional, considerate and always available when ever I had a question. I got my authentications and certifications done at a twinkle of an eye. I will recommend IDC any time, any day. Further more, I wanna thank the entire team for a job well done and special hats-off to Heather Ryerse for her professionalism and attentiveness. Thank y’all so very much.

I used IDOCS when it became apparent that I had to fly to China while my documents were being processed at the Department of Foreign Affairs and the Chinese Embassy. I needed three documents legalised by the two offices. I was pleasantly surprised at how quickly their staff replied to my initial inquiry and couldn’t have been happier with their consistent effort to keep me informed and to answer my questions with promptness. As could be expected, I was more than a little anxious about leaving Canada with such important documents in the hands of strangers, but the IDOCS team proved to be professional and quick. My documents arrived fully legalised in Shanghai much faster than I anticipated. I would definitely recommend their services to anyone in need of fast, reliable document help. The value for your money cannot be matched!
