Comprehensive Legalization Solutions for Madagascar
Document legalization for Madagascar is a multi-tiered process. Because Madagascar is not a member of the Apostille Convention, documents must undergo traditional embassy legalization (also known as attestation) to gain legal validity.
We handle a wide range of documents, categorized under three main sectors:
Corporate & Commercial Documents
- Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws
- Certificate of Good Standing
- Commercial Invoices and Certificates of Origin
- Powers of Attorney (POA)
- Board Resolutions and Authorizations
Personal & Civil Documents
- Birth, Marriage, and Death Certificates
- Divorce Decrees and Court Orders
- Background Checks (FBI, State, or Police Clearance)
- Passports and Identity Documents
Academic & Professional Credentials
- University Degrees and Diplomas
- Academic Transcripts
- Professional Certifications and Licenses
Step-by-Step Legalization Process
Navigating the chain of authentication on your own can be overwhelming. Our team manages every phase of the sequence seamlessly:
- Local Notarization: Verification of the signatures on your original document by a licensed notary public.
- State/County Certification: Certification by the Secretary of State where the document was executed.
- Federal Authentication: For certain jurisdictions or document types, authentication by the Ministry or Department of Foreign Affairs (e.g., US Department of State).
- Madagascar Embassy Legalization: The final, critical step where the Embassy of the Republic of Madagascar appends its official seal and signature, making the document legally valid for use in the country.
