Consular legalization
When Apostille is not enough, documents may need consular legalization
Consular legalization is sequence-sensitive: notarization, competent authority, embassy or consulate, translation and submission may all need to be ordered correctly.
The first step is to confirm whether consular legalization is actually required.
