What to Know Before You Submit
Which countries require embassy legalization instead of an apostille?
Countries that are not members of the Hague Apostille Convention generally require a longer authentication and consular legalization process. Requirements vary by destination and document type, so we review your specific case.
How long does non-Hague legalization take?
Timing depends on the issuing state, federal processing, embassy or consulate requirements, and whether translation or additional certification is needed. We provide a realistic timeline after reviewing the documents and destination country.
Can On Demand Dox handle documents issued outside Maryland?
We can coordinate many document authentication matters, but the issuing jurisdiction may control where certification must occur. During the consultation, we identify the correct authority and the most practical handling route.
What affects the cost of embassy legalization?
Pricing depends on the number and type of documents, authentication stages, embassy fees, translation needs, turnaround requirements, and courier handling. You receive a clear scope before work begins.
