Legalisations:
Legalisation is a process of document authentication
observed by international governments. When the country in which you intend to
use your document has not signed the Apostille Treaty, a legalisation is
required. Any document which is to be
used overseas has to be legalised by local authorities before it can be
considered valid. Each country has its own legalisation requirements determined
by the type of document being legalised and its intended use.
Email
consul.london@gov.mt for further
information and to book an appointment.

In
the Administration of Oaths / Affidavits, the Commissioner for
