Description

A legalized signature proves that your signature is genuine. This is necessary, for example, if you are receiving visitors from abroad who need to apply for a visa. A company or organization may also request this. Legalization only proves that your signature is genuine. It does not say anything about the content of the document or completed form.

You sign the document or form in the presence of the municipal official. The official compares your signature with the signature on your identity document.
