When do you need legalization for Afghanistan?
Swedish documents are not automatically valid in Afghanistan. Authorities, employers and educational institutions in Afghanistan require that documents are first verified by Swedish authorities and then legalized at Embassy of Afghanistan before they can be used. The most common situations where we help our customers:
Work in Afghanistan
Work permit applications, employment contracts and professional licenses for Afghanistan typically require legalized education certificates and police clearance.
Studies in Afghanistan
Universities in Afghanistan demand legalized diplomas, transcripts and grade certificates as part of admission for international students.
Family matters
Marriage, family reunification, birth registration and adoption in Afghanistan require legalized marriage certificates, birth certificates and personbevis.
Business & company
Setting up subsidiaries, signing contracts or registering trademarks in Afghanistan requires legalized registreringsbevis, articles of association and powers of attorney.
Processing time for Afghanistan
The complete legalization chain for Afghanistan typically takes around 10-20 working days from the moment we receive your originals until they are ready for return delivery. The timeline is mainly determined by Embassy of Afghanistan's own processing queue, which we cannot speed up directly.
What we can do is run every step in parallel where possible — notarized documents go to UD immediately, and as soon as UD is finished we submit them to Embassy of Afghanistan the same day. You receive automatic status updates by email every time your case moves forward.
Need it faster? Contact us before ordering — for urgent Afghanistan cases we can sometimes offer express handling at Embassy of Afghanistan for an additional fee.
Cost for Afghanistan
Legalization for Afghanistan starts at 1500 SEK for a single private document. The price covers the entire chain — notarization at Notarius Publicus, verification by the Swedish Ministry for Foreign Affairs and final legalization at Embassy of Afghanistan.
Multi-document orders qualify for our bundle pricing and typically come out cheaper per document. Company documents from Bolagsverket and Skatteverket don't need notarization and follow a separate price list.
All prices include VAT and outlays paid on your behalf to authorities. There are no hidden fees — you see the final amount before payment.

Afghanistan is not a member of the Hague Apostille Convention. Documents intended for Afghanistan must therefore go through the full legalization chain — first notarization (for private documents), then verification by the Swedish Ministry for Foreign Affairs, and finally legalization at Embassy of Afghanistan in Stockholm.
Each step is mandatory. A document missing the embassy stamp will be rejected by authorities and employers in Afghanistan, even if it has been notarized and verified by UD. The embassy is the only authority that can confirm the document's validity for use in Afghanistan.
Many Afghanistan-bound documents also require certified translation — either before or after the embassy step depending on the receiving authority. We coordinate translation and legalization in a single order so the steps happen in the correct sequence.
