Document Legalization

USILACS Offers Guaranteed State Apostille and Foreign Legalization Service

Before issuing work permits, work visas, or professional licenses, most foreign countries will require that your education credentials be legally authenticated before they will be accepted in their jurisdiction.

Legalizing education documents has always been highly technical, complex, and confusing.  However, as of late, since the COVID pandemic and government instability, the legalization process has increased in complexity and frustration exponentially.  Since COVID-19 began ravaging the world, many countries have temporarily closed their consulates, and other facilities have been closed permanently.  There has been substantial confusion and challenges for many who need their education documents legalized to return to jobs, homes, and services in many foreign countries.

In today’s world, legalizing documents for foreign use is becoming increasingly complex and often impossible for students to self-serve.  Well-meaning friends, websites, social media, and fellow students are spreading much confusion and misinformation.  Due to the current perplexity and inaccuracy, many self-serve students know that before submitting the documents for foreign legalization, they must obtain a state apostille and US State Department authentication.  Dealing with the US State Department is hugely time-consuming.  Many apostille applications take up to three months to be processed.  In addition, many foreign embassies refuse the service of self-served students for any number of justified as well as unjustified reasons.

In this ever-changing and unstable geopolitical environment, it is not the time for students to self-serve their education document legalization needs.  Regulations are sometimes changing daily.  Various visa services are disseminating false or outdated information, and many are also raking in enormous fees and still not delivering on the promised legalizations.  The other challenge facing self-serve students is that most visa services only service a small geographical area.  In today’s world, students need a global legalization service that can fully serve their legal needs.

USILACS has worked with students for several years to assist them in obtaining apostilles and embassy legalizations.  USILACS has legal representatives, attorneys, relationships, and contacts worldwide.  We are experts in legalizing education documents and have extensive experience obtaining legalizations in challenging countries such as China, Korea, Japan, Mexico, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Thailand, and many others.  With USILACS contacts and expertise, USILACS students are not limited to a single embassy or consulate.  With legal professionals, representatives, and visa services worldwide, USILACS can process foreign legalization through multiple embassies and consulates.
