PRACTICE AREA

Documents that work
across borders.

Notarisation, apostille, and authentication coordinated for documents that need to function in multiple jurisdictions.

Documents, Notarisation & Apostille

A document that works in one country
may not be recognised in another.

LexNKS manages the full chain from execution to authentication to apostille.

01

Assess requirements

We confirm what each jurisdiction requires: notarisation, apostille, legalisation, or a specific format.

02

Execution and notarisation

Licensed notaries and advocates ensure correct execution in the originating jurisdiction.

03

Apostille or legalisation

The complete chain — apostille for Hague Convention countries, consular legalisation for others.

FREQUENTLY ASKED

Questions about this practice.

What is the difference between apostille and legalisation?

+

Apostille applies between Hague Convention member countries and is a single-step process. For non-member countries, consular legalisation is required — a multi-step process through the foreign embassy or consulate.

Can you handle urgent apostille requests?

+

Yes. We have contacts that expedite official processes where available. Timelines depend on the originating jurisdiction.
