What is legalisation?
Legalisation is the official confirmation that a signature, seal or stamp on a document is genuine. But having a document legalised doesn’t mean that its contents are accurate, and it does not carry any sort of official approval by the Foreign Affairs Ministry Office.
Can I legalise a document in India?
No, Indonesian Embassy in New Delhi and Consulate General in Mumbai cannot legalise documents but they can forward them for a fee to the legalisation office in Indonesia. Alternatively you can send them directly to the legalisation office in Indonesia. Before sending the documents to the legalisation office please check do contact to the Indonesian Embassy in New Delhi or Consulate General in Mumbai.
The Indonesian Embassy and Consulate General have no powers to undertake notarial acts, administer oaths or take affidavits which will be effectual in Indonesia. You are thus required to contact a local Notary Public or an advocate as the competent authority under Indian law.
Indonesian Consular at the Embassy and Consulate General can, however, certify copies of some documents, such as Indonesian passports or Indonesian birth/death certificates, if they are required for administrative purposes. This is not the same as legalising or verifying the genuiness of a document.
How can I get my documents legalised?
You can send them to the legalisation office in Indonesia. Before sending the documents to the legalisation office please check do contact to the Indonesian Embassy in New Delhi or Consulate General in Mumbai.
Why do documents need to be legalised?
If you are going to use Indonesian documents overseas, for business or personal reasons, you’ll probably be asked to have your documents legalised before they can be accepted. The stamp of authenticity gives the person you’re dealing with complete confidence that it’s the genuine article.
What documents do I need to legalise?
We can’t tell you that, because it depends on the local requirements. Only the authority or organisation you’re dealing with can give you that information. But you may be able to get advice from the Embassy or Consulate General of the country you’re travelling to.
