Legalization from Algeria

Schmidt & Schmidt offers the legalization of documents from Algeria.

Algeria has not joined the Hague Convention Abolishing the Requirement of Legalization for Foreign Public Documents. Therefore, documents from Algeria cannot be legalized by apostille, they will only be recognized abroad after consular legalization, meaning their authenticity must be confirmed separately.

By consular legalization 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 legalization of a document is a very lengthy procedure. It has to be authenticated by the Ministry of Justice and structural subdivisions. The document can then be finally legalized by the respective country's embassy.

Furthermore, any document issued abroad can be legalized for the use in Algeria. The procedure corresponds to the legalization of Algerian documents abroad: it has to be authenticated by both the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the country concerned, before it can be legalized by the Algerian Embassy.

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)
Judicial decisions
Notarially certified copies of documents
Notarially certified translations
Further notarial documents (authorizations, last will, declarations)

In the beginning i though that it was not a legit company for the amount of scams outthere, after checking reviews and feedback, we decided to go for it.

I found them through a search looking to source Apostille documents from Peru. My query was followed up quickly by Anna who gave me a quote. I paid and the process was in place. Later I needed a second document sourced and Anna again followed up quickly. She was easy to contact when I needed to, very attentive and professional. The documents were sourced and despatched to me (to South East Asia). Very good, would recommend and use again.

Frequently asked question about Legalization and Apostille

1. What is legalization of documents and what is it needed for?

Legalization of a document is a process, which allows to legitimate the document issued in one country for its usage in another. It means, if you want to submit a document, issued in one country, to authorities in a target country, the document must primarily prove its authenticity. Legalization confirms the authority of the issuing official as well as an authenticity of his signature and seal. Legalization is needed for official non-commercial documents.

2. How can the document be legalized for another country?

There are following procedures of legalization of documents:

Consular legalization
Apostille (a simplified procedure of legalization)
Legalization of documents by the Chamber of Commerce and Industry

Consular legalization applies to countries, that have not signed the Hague Convention of 1961, which implemented a law about the procedure of apostille (a lot of European countries are member states of this convention). Legalization of documents through the Chamber of Commerce is carried out in relation to commercial documents (contracts, invoices etc).

3. Is the legalization of the document always required?

No, not always. In some cases, countries can make bi- or multilateral agreements that completely revoke legalization of documents for their recognition in the member countries. For example, a CIEC convention from 1976 or bilateral treaties between Germany and Belgium, Denmark, France, Greece, Italy, Luxemburg, Austria and Switzerland.
