Consular legalization from the Faroe Islands

Schmidt & Schmidt offers the consular legalization of public documents from the Faroe Islands.

The Faroe Islands are an autonomous part of the Kingdom of Denmark, a member of Hague Convention Abolishing the Requirement of Legalization for Foreign Public Documents. However, the authorities of Denmark have issued a special declaration concerning the Faroe Islands so that the agreement does not apply there. Therefore, the consular legalization of public documents from the Faroe Islands by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Denmark is required.

The consular legalization authenticates the origin of the signature and the seal of a foreign public document. Responsible for the procedure is the respective embassy of the country in which the document shall be used.

The following documents can be legalized:

• Extracts from the commercial register
• Certificates of civil status (certificates of birth, death, marriage and divorce)
• Education documents (school reports, certificates, diplomas)
• Court decisions
• Notarially certified copies of documents
• Notarially certified translations
• Further notarial documents (authorizations, last will, declarations)
