FAQs

What is Legalization and attestation?

Legalization, also known as attestation, is a process handled only by a non-Hague Convention country’s foreign consulate or embassy. This step is required for legal documents destined for countries outside the Hague Convention. Apostille certification, on the other hand, can only be issued by one of the 50 U.S. Secretary of State offices or the U.S. Department of State for documents going to a Hague Convention member country. At Wisconsin Apostille Agent, we guide you through both processes—ensuring your documents are correctly prepared, accepted, and recognized abroad.

What is the difference between an Embassy and a Consulate?

Think of an embassy as the main diplomatic headquarters, usually in a country’s capital, handling big-picture political and international relations. A consulate, on the other hand, is like a helpful local branch office found in other major cities—focused on practical services such as issuing visas, assisting citizens, and processing legalizations.
When it comes to getting your documents legalized, knowing the difference matters—and that’s where we come in. At Wisconsin Apostille Agent, we guide you through embassy and consulate requirements so your documents are processed quickly and accepted worldwide.

Can an Embassy or Consulate issue an apostille?

No—embassies do not issue apostilles. Only one of the 50 U.S. Secretary of State offices or the U.S. Department of State in Washington, D.C., can issue a state or federal apostille certificate. Embassies and consulates can only provide legalization or attestation services, and only after a document has been properly authenticated at the state or federal level. At Wisconsin Apostille Agent, we guide you through every step—whether your documents require a simple apostille or a full embassy legalization for non-Hague Convention countries—so you can avoid costly delays and ensure acceptance abroad.”

I need consulate attestation services. Can a Wisconsin Apostille Agent help?

Consulate Attestation Services—also called document legalization—is the process of having a non-Hague Convention country’s embassy or consulate verify and certify your legal documents for use abroad. This step is required when your destination country is not part of the Hague Convention. In contrast, an apostille is issued only by one of the 50 U.S. Secretary of State offices or the U.S. Department of State for countries that are Hague Convention members.

At Wisconsin Apostille Agent, we handle both consulate attestation and apostille certifications, making international document authentication fast, accurate, and stress-free.

Is notarizing and legalizing the document the same?

Notarizing a document is the process where a licensed notary public in the United States verifies your identity, witnesses your signature, and affixes their official seal to confirm authenticity. Legalizing a document—also called attestation—is different. This step is completed only by a non-Hague Convention country’s foreign consulate or embassy, and it certifies your document for official use in that country. At Wisconsin Apostille Agent, we handle both parts of the process when needed, ensuring your documents are notarized, legalized, and ready for international acceptance without delays.
