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 (Journal of Laws of 2005, no. 112, item 938).
The Polish consul in Syria legalises documents issued in Syria.
Please note! The consul can legalise only original documents. In justified cases, you can legalise photocopy but only after presenting original document. In this case additional fee will be required for confirmation of the copy by our Consulate. The documents must be authenticated by the Syrian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates before you present them to the consul.
The consul will refuse to legalise documents without prior superlegalisation.
To make an appointment in a consulate, choose legal issue appointment on the e-Konsulat website (please remember to choose country: Syria, diplomatic mission: Damascus).
The fee is according to the consular fees table.
If a foreign authority requires legalisation of a Polish document, please read the information available on Polish MFA website.
