How does it work?

Legalising a document issued in Ireland can be complex, especially as the requirements change depending on who you need to present it to, and exactly what type of document it is. Fortunately, most documents follow a similar pattern which we’ve broken down for you. There are however some situations where things are a little different, so if you want to make sure that you are fully informed, speak to one of our advisers and we’ll look at your individual circumstances free of charge.

Notarial Certification in Ireland

In some cases, your first step is to get your document certified by a notary public. To ensure your original document is kept safe, our notary will typically take a copy of your document, and will process that. They will certify it as a true copy of the original, and then start the legalisation.

Apostille Legalisation in Ireland

Irish documents that need to be used in Qatar must be first legalised in Ireland. During this process they will have an Apostille certificate attached and sealed to the reverse of the document. This is a white A5 piece of paper which confirms that the seal or signature used to certify the document is genuine. In Ireland this can only be handled by the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) in Dublin.
