Francophone destinations

Start with the destination and receiving authority. FrancoLegal verifies the formalities before recommending a paid service; the six guides below cover destinations we have documented in more detail.

Other Francophone destinations

FrancoLegal also accepts files for other Francophone destinations. We do not publish a generic legalisation chain where it has not been verified: select the country when opening your file and we confirm the document and recipient requirements first.
