Document legalization is the process of certifying the authenticity of official documents so that they are recognized and accepted in foreign jurisdictions. This process is necessary for documents such as business contracts, academic certificates, birth certificates, marriage registration, and immigration documents to be legally valid in another country.

In Nepal, document legalization typically involves notarization, attestation by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MoFA), and sometimes an Apostille certification if the receiving country is a member of the Hague Apostille Convention.

Why is Document Legalization Important?

Legalizing your documents ensures that they are:

• Legally valid in foreign countries
• Accepted by embassies, government agencies, and international organizations
• Required for visa applications, foreign employment, higher education, business transactions, and residency applications
• Preventing legal complications due to non-authenticated documents

Our Document Legalization Services in Nepal

At Law Manthan, we offer a full range of document legalization services, including:

Before proceeding with attestation or apostille, documents must be notarized by a registered notary public in Nepal. Notarization confirms that the signatures, seals, and content are genuine. Learn more about our Notary Services.

MoFA attestation is mandatory for documents that need to be presented abroad. Law Manthan facilitates quick and hassle-free attestation at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
