If you need to use a document issued in the United States in Laos, you will need to have it legalized. However, Laos is not a signatory to the Hague Convention Abolishing the Requirement of Legalization for Foreign Public Documents, commonly known as the Apostille Convention. This means that the process of legalizing your document for use in Laos can be more complex than in other countries.
To legalize a document for use in Laos, you will need to follow these steps:
- Notarization: The first step is to have your document notarized by a licensed notary public in the state where the document was issued. The notary must affix their official seal to the document.
- Authentication: After notarization, the document must be authenticated by the Secretary of State’s office in the state where it was issued. The authentication certifies that the notary public who signed the document is licensed and in good standing.
- Legalization: Once the document has been authenticated by the Secretary of State’s office, it must be legalized by the Embassy of Laos in the United States. The embassy will affix their official seal to the document, certifying that it is valid for use in Laos.
It is important to note that the process of legalizing a document for use in Laos can take several weeks or even months, depending on the specific requirements of the embassy. It is also important to ensure that your document is translated into Lao if it is not already in that language.
