Legalize British Virgin Islands Documents
British Virgin Islands documents can be legalized for cross-border use by means of Apostille Certification or Consular Legalization
Apostille Certification
An Apostille Stamp is a simplified procedure of international attestation. When affixed to documents, Apostilles are directly recognised by the authorities of over 120 countries (Signatories of the Hague Apostille Convention) as certifying the document’s validity, without requiring additional certification.
Since the British Virgin Islands is a signatory to the convention, Isarey can assist by obtaining Apostille Certification for British Virgin Islands documents so that they are valid for official use in other signatory countries, including: Spain - Italy - Portugal - Greece - Cyprus - France - Saudi Arabia - Germany - China
Consular Legalization
Consular Legalization is required when a document from the British Virgin Islands is to be used in a non-signatory country. In this case, following authentication by authorities in the British Virgin Islands, the document must be certified a second time in the British Virgin Islands by the embassy representing the country where the document is to be used.
Where British Virgin Islands documents are to be used abroad and where the receiving country has a different official language, certified translation may also be required. Isarey takes care of any certified translations required as part of the document attestation process, ensuring that translations are carried out and certified in accordance with local regulations.
Note that a certified translation on its own only provides assurance that the translation itself is accurate and true; it does not confirm the authenticity of the original document. The original document must be legalized for a certified translation to carry equivalent legal weight.
