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