What is a legalisation?

Legalisation is a formality that is necessary for a document issued by foreign authorities to have legal effect in Norway. Foreign documents must be legalised by the authorities in the country which they were issued.

Legalisation does not prove the authenticity of a document or the truthfulness of its content.

For legalization of Norwegian documents, see  regjeringen.no.

For legalization of Tanzanian documents – birth certificates, marriage certificates and death certificates – they all must be issued by RITA    and thereafter legaliSed by Ministry for Foreign Affairs in Tanzania.

You need to send an email to consular.tanzania@mfa.no to book an appointment for legalisation at the Embassy.
