Consular and embassy legalization in Mexico
Legalization of documents for countries outside the Hague Apostille Convention, through the Mexican authorities and the destination country's consulate or embassy.
Countries that do not accept apostilles require a chain of legalization: the document is first legalized by the competent Mexican authority and then by the consulate or embassy of the destination country. Some countries add a final step at their own foreign ministry once the document arrives.
Requirements change often and differ by consulate: appointments, fees, mandatory translations, originals or copies. We check the current requirements for your document and destination, prepare the file, and handle submission and pickup.
In the other direction, foreign documents from countries outside the Convention must be legalized at the Mexican consulate in the issuing country before they can be used here.

Frequently asked questions
How do I know whether I need an apostille or legalization?
If the destination country is a member of the Hague Apostille Convention, an apostille is enough. If not, consular legalization is needed. Tell us the destination country and we will confirm.
Do I need to go to the consulate in person?
Usually not. For most documents we submit and collect on your behalf. If a consulate requires the applicant in person, we tell you in advance.
