Examples of legalization

What is it?

When is consular legalization required?

✔ If the country has signed the Hague Convention → an apostille + translation + notarization is enough.
a bilateral agreement with Ukraine → translation and notarization are enough.
❌ If the country is not on these lists → consular legalization is required.

The procedure depends on the type of document and the country of destination, so before submitting documents, it is recommended to clarify the requirements for the host organization.
