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

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

Kiribati document legalization is a two-step process:

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

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