Legalization of Birth Certificate
If you plan to use your birth certificate outside Latvia in a country that does not recognize the apostille, you will need consular legalization of the document.
Riga Tulko Jums Translation Bureau provides full-service legalization — from consultation to submission of documents to the relevant authorities — ensuring everything is done legally, accurately, and efficiently.
What Is Legalization of a Birth Certificate?
Legalization of a birth certificate is an official procedure that confirms the legal validity of a Latvian document for use abroad.
Unlike the apostille, consular legalization is required for countries that are not members of the 1961 Hague Convention (such as the UAE, Canada, China, and others).
The Legalization Process
- Obtaining the original or a certified copy of the birth certificate;
- Translation into the required language (if necessary);
- Notarization of the translation;
- Authentication by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Latvia;
- Consular legalization at the embassy or consulate of the destination country.
