Embassy & consular legalization
Full legalization for countries outside the Hague Convention – from court and ministry to the embassy or consulate.
For countries that are not party to the Hague Convention an apostille is not enough. The document has to pass a chain of certifications: first by the competent authority in Slovenia, then by the Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs, and finally by the embassy or consulate of the destination country.
Many countries have no embassy in Slovenia, so we complete the legalization at their mission in a neighbouring country, for example in Vienna, Budapest or Rome. You send the document – we coordinate every step, translation and deadline.
Available across Slovenia
Frequently asked questions
How do I know whether I need an apostille or legalization?
It depends on the country where the document will be used. Tell us the country and purpose and we will advise the correct procedure.
How long does legalization take?
It depends on the embassy – some certify within days, others take several weeks. We give an estimated timeline in the quote.
