| DOCUMENTS Venezuela is a signature to the Hague Convention and therefore there is no need for shipping Documents to be legalized. OtherĀ documents that need legal recognition would be certified with an Apostille, which will allow them to be accepted for legal use in Venezuela. We are able to request the Embassy to legalize individual documents if needed. In order for the document to be recognized by the Embassy it would first need to have the seal of the US State Dept - ., with the exception of Government issued documents which can go to them direct. As part of our service, we can take your Documents to the U.S. State Department and also advise you on their exact requirements before they will place their seal. |
| PROCEDURE Please complete the attached order form and send along with your document to WCS. In order to obtain legalization, WCS will need the original document. This should be a signed, notarized or a State issued Document. If you require an Apostille, we can usually obtain this within 1 day and return to you by your desired courier. If you require legalization at the Embassy the process usually takes about 4 business days. Customers should include their own return airway bill issued by DHL, UPS or FedEx with the document, along with a check or credit card information for payment of legalization fees. For individual orders please complete your credit card number on the form. |
