Legalize Bangladeshi Documents

Bangladeshi documents can be legalized for cross-border use by means of Apostille Certification or Consular Legalization

Apostille Certification

An Apostille Stamp is a simplified procedure of international attestation. When affixed to documents, Apostilles are directly recongnized by the authorities of over 120 countries (Signatories of the Hague Convention Abolishing the Requirement of Legalization for Foreign Public Documents Hague Apostille ConventionExternal link (opens in new tab)) as certifying the document’s validity, without requiring additional certification.

Since Bangladesh is a signatory to the convention, Isarey can assist by obtaining Apostille Certification for Bangladeshi documents so that they are valid for official use in other signatory countries, including: CA CanadaCanada - ES SpainSpain - IT ItalyItaly - PT PortugalPortugal - GR GreeceGreece - CY CyprusCyprus - FR FranceFrance - SA Saudi ArabiaSaudi Arabia - DE GermanyGermany - CN ChinaChina

See additional notes below

Consular Legalization
Consular Legalization is required when a document from Bangladesh is to be used in a non-signatory country. In this case, following authentication by authorities in Bangladesh, the document must be certified a second time in Bangladesh by the embassy representing the country where the document is to be used.

Countries which do not recongnize Apostille certification and require consular legalization include: AE United Arab EmiratesUnited Arab Emirates - QA QatarQatar - TH ThailandThailand - TW TaiwanTaiwan - VN VietnamVietnam

Exceptions to the Apostille Convention - Bangladesh
The following countries have objected to the accession of Bangladesh to the Apostille Convention: Lithuania, Argentina, Denmark, France, Greece, Estonia, Netherlands, Belgium, Austria, Germany, Finland, Czechia. Bangladeshi documents required for submission to these countries may still require legalization by the embassy of the recipient country in Dhaka.

Certified Translation

Where Bangladeshi documents are to be used abroad and where the receiving country has a different official language, a sworn or certified may also be required. Isarey takes care of any certified translations required as part of the document attestation process, ensuring that translations are carried out and certified in accordance with local regulations.

A certified translation on its own only provides assurance that the translation itself is accurate and true; it does not confirm the authenticity of the original document. The original document must be legalized for a certified translation to carry equivalent legal weight.
