Usually, Embassy of Kazakhstan in Washington, DC and Consulate General of Kazakhstan in New York City do not perform consular legalization of public documents in the USA as both Kazakhstan and the USA are parties to the Hague Apostille Convention. For general information on apostilles, please see this link. They only provide notarial services to Kazakhstan nationals permanently residing in the USA; however, personal appearance is necessary.
Consular legalization for document use in Kazakhstan can still be performed on the documents from neither the USA nor Kazakhstan provided that prior authentication at U.S. Department of State (USDOS) has been done. The authentication at USDOS will only be performed after certification/authentication at the foreign embassy/consulate of the country that issued the document. The above link as well as this link on USDOS services explains the procedure.
Kazakh Service Center can assist you with all your aforementioned consular legalization needs. Our fee structure is in the below Table:
Service | Fee | Timing |
---|---|---|
Certification/authentication at a foreign embassy/consulate | 120 US$ on top of consular fee charged by the foreign embassy/consulate * | Depends on the foreign embassy/consulate |
USDOS Authentication | 100 US$ (for 1-15 documents) and 100 US$ (for 16-31 documents) | 2-4 business days |
