Legalization from the Comoros

Schmidt & Schmidt offers the legislation of documents from the Comoros.

The Comoros did not accede to the Hague Convention Abolishing the Requirement of Legalization for Foreign Public Documents.

Any documents issued abroad will only be recognised in the Comoros if they are legalised, meaning their authenticity must be separately confirmed.

Legalization of foreign documents for use in the Comoros

Any foreign public document can be legalised at one of the 15 comorian embassies worldwide.

Legalization of Comorian documents

Public documents from the Comoros can be legalised at one of the few embassies in the Comoros or a nearby embassy in another country.

Note that civil status certificates must also be authenticated by "RITA" (Registration, Insolvency and Trusteeship Agency). Submitted certificates must not be laminated!

The processing of documents usually takes us about 14 days.
