legalisation

Legalisation is the process of formally recognizing and verifying a document or activity according to a country's legal standards, often for international use. For example, when a document like a birth certificate is legalized, authorities confirm its authenticity so it can be accepted in another country. In broader terms, legalization refers to making something officially lawful or permissible within the legal system, such as removing illegal restrictions on certain activities or substances. Overall, it ensures that laws are followed and that documents or actions are recognized as valid within the legal framework.
