About this statute

This provision says Law 455 of 1998 approves the Convention abolishing legalization for foreign public documents. This provision says the Convention applies to certain public documents made in one contracting state and to be shown in another, and it excludes some diplomatic/consular and certain customs/commercial administrative documents. Each contracting state must exempt covered documents presented in its territory from legalization. Solo puede exigirse un certificado de la autoridad competente del Estado de origen para acreditar la autenticidad de la firma, la calidad en que firmó la persona y, cuando corresponda, el sello o estampilla. The certificate must be placed on the document itself or in an addendum, and its title must be written in French.
