Verification Protocol

Two-tier diplomatic legalization

Phase 01

Department of State authentication

Before any foreign consulate reviews your federal record, the US Department of State Office of Authentications must bind the document with a brass eyelet, tricolor ribbon, and the Great Seal of the United States.

Phase 02

Foreign embassy attestation

Our couriers hand-deliver the State-authenticated dossier to the appropriate bilateral consular section in Washington, DC, managing jurisdictional filings, consular fee drafts, and official embassy revenue stamps.
