Consular certification is the confirmation of a document’s compliance with the laws of the country of origin, that is, certifying the authenticity of an official's signature and seal. Consular certification is a more complicated and expensive procedure in price as compared to apostilization.

How one can find out whether he/she needs a consular certification or not? In case the country signed the Hague Convention in 1961, apostilization is required. If not, it is better to apply to the agency accepting your documents.
