Document legalization for International Use
Are you looking to legalize official documents in Azerbaijan for use abroad?
We offer fast, accurate, and fully compliant consular legalization services in Baku, Azerbaijan, trusted by international clients, businesses, and institutions worldwide.
What is Consular Legalization?
Consular legalization is the process of authenticating official documents through local authorities (e.g., Ministry of Foreign Affairs) and the consulate or embassy of the destination country. This ensures that your documents are legally recognized outside Azerbaijan.
Unlike apostille (used under The Hague Convention), consular legalization is required for countries that do not accept apostilles, such as the UAE, China, Qatar and others.

When do I need consular legalization instead of an apostille?
Use consular legalization when the destination country isn’t in the Hague Apostille Convention (e.g., UAE, Qatar) or when its embassy in Baku requires embassy authentication regardless of apostille.
What are the steps in Azerbaijan?
Typical workflow: document review and notarization (if needed) → Ministry of Justice certification → Ministry of Foreign Affairs legalization → authentication at the destination country’s embassy/consulate in Baku → collection and courier return.
Which documents can be legalized and do you need originals?
Civil certificates, powers of attorney, corporate records, notarial acts, court rulings, and academic diplomas/transcripts. We precheck scans and confirm requirements before submission.
How long does it take and what does it cost?
Timeframes depend on document type and ministry / embassy workload.
Fees vary by embassy charges, translations, and number of documents. After intake, we provide a fixed quote and timeline.
