### What is document legalization in Algeria?
Document legalization (or attestation) is a procedure which authenticates a public Algerian document so that it can be submitted in another country for official or legal purposes - for example, if you need to submit an Algerian birth certificate to the authority or embassy of another country, it will often need to be legalized.
Legalzing a document in Algeria certifies the authenticity of the signature appearing on the document as that of an authorized public official in Algeria and confirms the capacity of that official.
Algerian document legalization is a two-step process:
- First the document will need to be legalized by Algerian authorities.
- Then the document will need to be legalized by the embassy of the recipient country (embassy in Algeria or non-resident embassy accredited to Algeria).
- Note that Algeria is not issue Apostille Stamps, so Algerian documents cannot be legalized by Apostille.
