Document & Financial Questions
What is document legalisation and why is it needed? +
Document legalisation is the process of officially authenticating Nigerian documents (degree certificates, transcripts, birth certificates, marriage certificates) so that foreign embassies and institutions accept them as genuine. The standard legalisation chain in Nigeria is: Step 1 — Notarisation by a licensed notary. Step 2 — Authentication at the Ministry of Education (for academic documents). Step 3 — Authentication at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA). Step 4 — Superlegalisation at the relevant embassy in Abuja. Averion Global Consult manages the entire legalisation chain on your behalf.
