Under Liberian law, official documents intended for use outside of Liberia must undergo a formal authentication or legalization process to be recognized in foreign jurisdictions. This process involves verifying the origin, signature, and seal of a public document—typically for use in cross-border transactions, immigration, litigation, corporate registration, or academic matters.

Sterling Consultancy provides end-to-end support for the legalization and authentication of documents issued in or destined for Liberia, ensuring compliance with the procedures of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, relevant embassies, and international authorities.

Our Services Include:

• Authentication at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs:

We process documents for official authentication by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Liberia, confirming their issuance by a competent public authority.

• Embassy/Consular Legalization:

Where a document is to be used in a country that is not a party to the Hague Apostille Convention, we facilitate consular legalization at the appropriate embassy or consulate, ensuring that the document meets that country’s formal requirements.

• Corporate Document Legalization:

We assist with the legalization of corporate documents such as certificates of incorporation, business licenses, board resolutions, powers of attorney, and notarized contracts, often required for cross-border investments, tenders, or compliance with foreign regulators.

• Academic and Civil Document Processing:

For individuals, we process and legalize academic transcripts, diplomas, birth certificates, marriage certificates, and other personal documents required for educational, immigration, or professional purposes abroad.

• Notarization and Certified True Copies:

We arrange for notarization and certification of documents as a prerequisite for further authentication or foreign use.
