Foreign Embassy Legalization

A certified true copy is executed under an active notary public, establishing statutory validity before authentication by the commissioning State Secretary.

The US Department of State Office of Authentications in Washington, DC examines the state certificate and attaches the federal seal.

The foreign embassy consular section in Washington inspects federal ribbons and affixes the final diplomatic stamp recognized by immigration authorities abroad.

Diplomatic Standards
