Apostille

To use documents in other countries, you need to legalize them. For countries participating in the Hague Convention (The Hague, October 5, 1961), it is enough to affix a special stamp - an apostille. Apostille acts as a guarantee of the authenticity of the document, certifies the authenticity of the signature and the position of the person who signed the document, as well as the authenticity of the seal or stamp with which this document is attached. If the country is not one of the member states of the Hague Convention, then consular legalization is required. Countries requiring consular legalization of documents: Brazil, Denmark, Jordan, Canada, Kuwait, Lebanon, Libya, United Arab Emirates, Syria, etc. Consular legalization consists in certifying the authenticity of the signature of an official and, in some cases, the seal of an authorized state body on documents and acts for their use in another state. Depending on the type of document, it is required to legalize it at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Justice or at the Consulates of the respective countries. Consular legalization is valid only for the country for which the legalization was carried out. An apostille is a certification for authenticating documents to be used in foreign countries. The sole function of the apostille is to certify the authenticity of one or more signatures in a document. The certificate is around 15 cm2 in size and is permanently attached to the document which authenticity it is approving. More here - https://www.worldbank.org/
