Legalize Trinidad Tobago Documents

Trinidad Tobago 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 recognised by the authorities of over 120 countries (Signatories of the Hague Convention Abolishing the Requirement of Legalisation for Foreign Public Documents Hague Apostille ConventionExternal link (opens in new tab)) as certifying the document’s validity, without requiring additional certification.

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

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

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

Trinidad and Tobago documents required for countries that are not signatories to the Apostille Convention are legalized in Trinidad and Tobago by the Ministry of Foreign and CARICOM Affairs for final attestation by the embassy of the recipient country.

  • Taiwan: Trinidad and Tobago documents required for submission to Taiwan are legalized at the Embassy of the Republic of China in St. Vincent and the Grenadines.
  • United Arab Emirates: Documents are attested at the UAE Embassy in Havana.
  • Qatar: Documents required for submission to the authorities of Qatar are legalized at the embassy in Caracas.
  • Vietnam: Documents to be legalized for Vietnam are attested at the embassy in Panama City.
Certified Translation

Where Trinidad Tobago documents are to be used abroad and where the receiving country has a different official language, certified translation 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.

Note that 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.
