Flyrich SWORN Translation (Pvt) Ltd, through our dedicated attestation division docsLegi™, offers comprehensive certificate attestation and document legalization services in Sri Lanka. We assist individuals and businesses in ensuring their Sri Lankan documents are recognized legally in foreign countries for purposes like employment, migration, education, or business operations.
What Is Certificate Attestation & Legalization?
Certificate attestation is a mandatory verification process where official documents are certified by designated government authorities to be used legally outside Sri Lanka. Since Sri Lanka is not a member of the Hague Apostille Convention, foreign use of documents requires:
- Notarial endorsement
- Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MoFA) attestation
- Embassy or Consular legalization
In many cases, certified translation is also required. We handle all steps end-to-end.
Who Needs Document Attestation?
You may require certificate attestation or legalization if:
- You are applying for higher education overseas.
- You plan to migrate with family to countries like Canada, Australia, or the UK.
- You’ve received an employment opportunity abroad (e.g., UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar).
- Your business documents need to be presented to foreign entities.
- You’re registering a marriage or birth abroad.
We assist individuals, students, professionals, corporations, legal firms, and HR outsourcing companies globally.
