Schmidt & Schmidt offers the legalization of documents from Tuvalu.
Tuvalu did not accede to the Hague Convention Abolishing the Requirement of Legalization for Foreign Public Documents. All documents issued abroad will only be recognized in Tuvalu if they undergo consular legalization - a procedure by which the signature and the seal of foreign documents are authenticated. Responsible 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 decrees
- Notarized copies of documents
- Certified translations
- Further notarial documents (authorizations, last will, declarations)
