Certify documents issued in the Netherlands and abroad for official use in Macau
Isarey works across multiple jurisdictions to legalize international documents so that they are valid for submission to Macao authorities.
We legalize all types of official documents for use in Macau, including identity documents, birth and marriage certificates, criminal record certificates, academic diplomas and corporate documents.
We work locally with certification specialists, notaries, law firms and certifiedPortuguese and Chinesetranslators in over 100 countries, certifying documents for use in Macau, including documents issued in:
Macau is a signatory to the 
Hague Apostille Convention. This means that official documents issued in other signatory countries can be certified by an Apostille Stamp in the country where they have been issued. This stamp will generally be accepted directly by Macao authorities as confirmation of the document’s authenticity without need for further certification in Macau.
However, documents from non-Apostille countries must be legalized by the authorities of the issuing country and then attested by the local Macao embassy or consulate. This applies to documents in countries such as: United Arab Emirates - Taiwan - Malaysia - Thailand - Qatar
If you have documents issued in Macau:
Isarey also certifies documents issued in Macau for use abroad, including Macao birth, death and marriage certificates, diplomas and criminal record certificates. For further information, please see:
Certified Translation
When documents are written in a language that is not an official language of Macau, then a certified translation may also be required. It is important to ensure that the certified translation is valid for use in Macau. Translations not done in Macau may require separate legalization alongside the original document.
Isarey provides document attestation services to private, corporate and institutional clients worldwide. Our presence in different jurisdictions and our local experience and expertise dealing directly with authorities and embassies in different countries means we can save you time, frustration and money, ensuring that documents are properly prepared so that they are accepted by Macao authorities.
