HomeCertificate Attestation/ Legalization/ Authentication – Poland

Attestation, legalization, and authentication of the certificate are key processes in document validation for use in foreign countries. These procedures assure due recognition of the legality of all documents by the authorities, both in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and in the Republic of Poland. 

Attestation is the process by which some person or authority of competence verifies the authenticity of a document. The process verifies that documents, such as educational certificates, marriage certificates, and birth certificates, are original and legally viable.

Legalization: Affirmation purporting that a document will be recognized by foreign legal jurisdictions. It is a multi-level authentication process, and it includes attestation by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Embassy, providing a document’s validity to be used outside the country of origin.

Authentication: This is a process that involves the confirmation of a document as original and untampered. This process includes verification by the issuing authority and the concerned government departments before any document can be legalized.
