In order to apply for jobs and visas, you will need to legalise certain documents. Legalisation simply means authenticating. This must be done in the country they were issued, usually your home country.
The documents that are usually required to be legalised are:
- your TEFL certificate
- your degree
- a criminal background check
To legalise your documents, you will need to take the following steps:
- Notarise your documents
- Legalise your documents
- Have your documents attested
The process of legalising your documents will vary from country to country. Your employer will be able to provide guidance, and you should also contact the relevant embassy for more information.
