Legalisation

Legalisation is a certification that the document has been issued by a proper office - my means of legalisation the consul certifies the authenticity of a signature and stamp/seal of a foreign official. This allows you to use a foreign official document in Poland.

Legalisation applies to states non-members of the Hague Convention Abolishing the Requirement of Legalisation for Foreign Public Documents of 5 October 1961.

Please note! The consul can only legalise originals and official copies of documents. Photocopies and computer printouts cannot be legalised. The documents must be authenticated by the competent local authority before you present them to the consul. In most countries authentication is made by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ministry of Justice or another central authority of the document's country of origin.

The consul will refuse to legalise documents without prior superlegalisation.

If a foreign authority requires legalisation of a Polish document, please read the information available on Polish MFA website.
