Notarization
If your document does not need to be apostilled or legalized, and only notarized, it will take around 20-30 minutes, depending on the nature and number of documents. The notary will immediately prepare a notarial certification or affix the notary stamp on your document directly. Documents for use in Commonwealth countries such as Canada, Australia and New Zealand are often accepted without any apostilles or legalization stamps.
​
Apostille
If your document needs to be apostilled and/or legalization, we need to file it into the High Court of Hong Kong which provides apostille service. An apostille is a sticker affixed to the notarial certificate, or next to the notary stamp, sealed and signed by an officer of the High Court Registrar, who confirms the Notary’s seal, signature and current practising status of the Notary and validates the document to be used abroad pursuant to the Hague Convention.
​
Legalization
Upon completion of apostille, some documents may need further stamping by the relevant Embassy or Consulate in Hong Kong where the document will be used.
