What is embassy legalization?
Embassy legalization is the multi-step authentication process required when sending U.S. documents to a country that's not a member of the Hague Convention. Each link in the chain (notary, secretary of state, U.S. State Department, destination embassy) adds an authentication layer. We run the full chain for you with one fee, one timeline, one tracking dashboard.

How it works
Three steps. We handle the rest.
- 01
Document preparation + notarization
We notarize, certify, and translate (if required). Each layer is logged with timestamps for full audit trail.
- 02
State + federal authentication
Secretary of State authenticates the notary's signature; U.S. State Department authenticates the state seal. We run both in parallel where possible.
- 03
Destination embassy + delivery
Our agents physically submit to the destination embassy or consulate. Once authenticated, the document is returned to you via tracked international courier.

“Saudi consulate is notoriously slow. WiseNotary's agent in DC submitted in person and we got the legalised stack back in 17 days — versus the 8 weeks I was quoted by another firm.”

Common questions
About embassy legalization
Each layer in the chain has its own government fee (state, federal, embassy) plus courier costs and consulate appointment fees. Apostille is one government fee; legalization is typically four. Total fee depends on destination — we quote upfront.
