As such, it represents the first step in obtaining a certified translation with legal validity overseas.<\/p>\n<p>By contrast,\u00a0<strong>legalization<\/strong>\u00a0validates the\u00a0<strong>signature<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0<strong>title<\/strong>\u00a0of the public official who signs and seals the folder containing the original paper copy of the document and the translation. It represents the second stage in the certification process for documents destined for use in other countries.<\/p>\n<p>Regardless of the reason, if you require a document valid for overseas use, you will need both asseveration and legalization services.<\/p>\n<p>But where do you go for legalization? Let\u2019s take a look together.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Where legalization of documents for use abroad takes place<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The legalization of documents for use abroad can only occur at specific offices in the country in which the documents were issued.<\/p>\n<p>In Italy, this changes based on the type of document requiring legalization.<\/p>\n<p>For documents issued by\u00a0<strong>judicial <\/strong><strong>authorities<\/strong>, such as courts or notaries, the\u00a0<strong>Procura della Repubblica<\/strong>\u00a0[Public Prosecutor\u2019s Office] is the body responsible for legalization.<\/p>\n<p>For documents issued by other authorities, such as state bodies including\u00a0<strong>public, government, school and university authorities<\/strong>, you\u2019ll need to visit the\u00a0<strong>Prefettura<\/strong>\u00a0[Prefecture].<\/p>\n<p>However, if the country in which you want to certify the legal validity of a document is\u00a0<strong>not<\/strong>\u00a0a signatory to the 1961\u00a0<strong>Apostille <\/strong><strong>Convention<\/strong>, which abolished the need to legalize foreign public documents, you\u2019ll need to go to the\u00a0<strong>consulate<\/strong>. The consulate will provide the seal of authentication necessary to finalize the legalization process.<\/p>\n<p>Now that we\u2019ve seen the relevant entities that form part of the legalization process, let\u2019s look at the actual process by which a translation is legalized for overseas use.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>How to legalize translations for overseas use<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>To legalize a document, the first thing to do is\u00a0<strong>make an appointment<\/strong>\u00a0with the relevant office.<\/p>\n<p>The public official there will then\u00a0<strong>apply a seal<\/strong>\u00a0to the bottom or rear of the document.<\/p>\n<p>The seal of legalization certifies the title of the public official who signs the document, as well as the authenticity of their signature.<\/p>\n<p>For the document to achieve full validity overseas, the document needs to feature the first and last name of the public official applying the signature, his or her title and the date and location of the legalization process.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Clearly, the legalization process is a delicate one, encompassing a variety of different stages. Each one requires a high level of\u00a0<strong>attention and competence<\/strong>\u00a0to avoid mistakes, delays or even criminal liability.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s for this reason that Way2Global draws on its wealth of experience to offer clients who require legalization a truly\u00a0<strong>comprehensive <\/strong><strong>service<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to our team of project managers, experienced translators scattered across Italy and around the world and our network of correspondent offices in key global locations, we&#8217;re capable of\u00a0<strong>overseeing the entire process<\/strong>\u00a0that goes into giving a document legal validity overseas.<\/p>\n<p>From translation to asseveration,\u00a0<strong>legalization<\/strong>\u00a0and consularization, we guarantee a complete, quick, high-quality service.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Need to legalize a document for overseas use?\u00a0Contact us here!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"img-thumbnail d-block\"><a title=\"ni_legalization of documents for overseas use en\" href=\"https:\/\/way2global.com\/en\/ni_legalization-of-documents-for-overseas-use-en.asp\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"img-fluid ck-lazy\" title=\"Legalization of documents for overseas use\" src=\"https:\/\/way2global.kleecks-cdn.com\/images\/news\/ni_legalizzazionedidocumentiperlestero_it.jpg\" alt=\"Legalization of documents for overseas use\" data-src=\"https:\/\/way2global.kleecks-cdn.com\/images\/news\/ni_legalizzazionedidocumentiperlestero_it.jpg\" data-loaded=\"true\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Legalization is a process that gives\u00a0legal validity\u00a0to a document in a different country to the one in which it was originally issued.
