In an increasingly globalised and digital world, enterprises often find themselves navigating the complexities of notarization and apostille services. These services are essential for validating the authenticity of documents, ensuring their legal standing across borders. Legitify (www.legitify.eu) has emerged as a cutting-edge web solution that revolutionises the way businesses handle these important processes. In this blog post, we address how Legitify can help enterprises streamline their operations when it comes to notarization and apostille needs.

A Brief Overview of Notarization and Apostille

Notarization is the process by which a notary public verifies the authenticity of a document, the identity of the signer, and the signer's willingness to sign the document. This process ensures that a document's contents are trustworthy and can be legally recognized.

Apostille, on the other hand, is an international certification that verifies a document's authenticity making it acceptable for use in the countries that are part of the 1961 Apostille Hague Convention. This treaty simplifies the process of document validation across borders, making it easier for businesses to operate internationally.

The Challenges Enterprises Face with Traditional Notarization and Apostille Processes

Traditionally, notarization and obtaining apostilles have been time-consuming and costly processes, often requiring businesses to allocate significant resources and deal with bureaucratic red tape. Some of the challenges associated with these processes include:

• Physical presence requirements: Signatories often need to be physically present before a notary, which can be inconvenient, inefficient and incredibly time-consuming. Enterprises find themselves waiting for days or even weeks to receive the necessary documents, which may disrupt business operations.
• High Costs: Traditional notarization and apostille processes can be quite costly, especially for enterprises with a large volume of transactions.
• Inconsistent quality: Notarizations and apostilles are often performed by different providers, leading to inconsistencies in the quality of the documents.
• Limited access: Enterprises often find it difficult to access notaries and apostille providers, especially in remote or underserved areas.
• Lack of centralised document storage: Companies traditionally handle these requests at various team levels, thus resulting in decentralised management of notarized documents and no central document storage at firm-wide level - this makes it quite complex in case any of these documents need to be accessed urgently.
• Lack of direct cost insights: Companies find it incredibly difficult to track costs firmwide and forecast respective costs into their annual budgets as they do not have a solution in place with different users that would provide them with access to this data at a company level and user level.
