Documents you will submit to EDAS:
Notarized documents - Tell us in which country each document will be used. If a document needs to be legalized for more than one country, you must submit a separate notarized original of the document for each country.
OR
Documents already certified by the Secretary of State of the state where the document was executed (notarized). Tell us in which country each document will be used.
We will obtain the U.S. State Department authentication and/or embassy legalization.
Note: Documents
which are certified under the official seal of a Federal agency
do not need to be notarized and certified by the Secretary of State. Tell
us in which country it will be used and we will obtain the U.S. State Department
authentication or apostille certification and embassy legalization.
Facts on Document Authentication and Legalization
Documents issued in one country to be used in another country must be "authenticated" and/or "legalized" before they can be recognized as valid in the foreign country. This is a process in which various seals and signatures are placed on the document.
The number and type of authentication certificates you will need to obtain depends on the nature of the document and whether or not the foreign country is a party to the multilateral treaty on "legalization" of documents.
If your document is intended for use in a country which is a party to a treaty called the Hague Convention Abolishing the Requirement of Legalization for Foreign Public Documents ("Hague Legalization Convention"), obtaining a special
"apostille" certificate is generally all that is required.

If the country where the document will be used is not a party to The Hague Convention, you will have to begin the cumbersome, time-consuming process of obtaining a series of certifications known as the "chain authentication method". This is literally a paper chase in which authorities will have to attest to the validity of a succession of seals beginning with your document and ending with the seal of the foreign embassy or consulate in the United States.
