Document legalization (or attestation) is a procedure which authenticates a public South Sudan document so that it can be submitted in another country for official or legal purposes - for example, if you need to submit a South Sudan birth certificate to the authority or embassy of another country, it will often need to be legalized.

Legalzing a document in South Sudan certifies the authenticity of the signature appearing on the document as that of an authorized public official in South Sudan and confirms the capacity of that official.

South Sudan document legalization is a two-step process:

• First the document will need to be legalized by South Sudan authorities.
• Then the document will need to be legalized by the embassy of the recipient country (embassy in South Sudan or non-resident embassy accredited to South Sudan).

Note that South Sudan is not issue Apostille Stamps, so South Sudan documents cannot be legalized by Apostille.
