Legalization of Documents.

Department of Internal Affairs,
Wellington, 24th June, 1926.

IT is hereby published for general information that notification has been received from His Majesty’s Secretary of State for Dominion Affairs that the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs have recently adopted a new method of procedure in regard to the legalization, for use in France, of documents from other countries.

It has been a long-established custom, dating back to 1873 and possibly even earlier, for documents legalized at the British Consulate-General to be in turn presented at the French Ministry for Foreign Affairs for the attestation there of the Consular signature on the documents, in order to impart to them the necessary legal force for their use in France.

The French Ministry of Foreign Affairs now require that all documents intended for use in France shall henceforth be legalized by French Consular Officers stationed in the countries of the documents’ origin.

Warning is accordingly given to persons proceeding to France who may require, for use there, legalized copies of documents originating in New Zealand that this legalization should, if possible, be obtained from the local French Consular officers before departure, and that they should not depend on being able to obtain any form of legalization in France.

Minister of Internal Affairs.
