Legalisation
Legalisation is a certification that the document has been issued by a proper office – by means of legalisation the consul certifies the authenticity of a signature and stamp/seal of a foreign official. This allows you to use a foreign official document in Poland.
Legalisation applies to states that are not members of the Convention Abolishing the Requirement of Legalisation for Foreign Public Documents of 5 October 1961.
If a foreign authority requires legalisation of a Polish document, please read the information available on Polish MFA website.
