Authentication and legalization are processes used to verify the authenticity of documents for use in foreign countries. Authentication involves verifying the signature and seal of the official who signed the document, confirming that it is genuine. Legalization, on the other hand, is the process of certifying the authenticity of the authentication itself, usually by a foreign embassy or consulate.
