Iraq-Health Certificate Embassy Authentication

1. What is embassy authentication, consulate authentication, and certificate of origin? Embassy authentication refers to a country’s diplomatic agencies and their authorized agencies confirming on foreign-related documents that the seal of the country’s notary office or some special agency or the signature of the person in charge of the agency is authentic. An authenticated certificate is legally binding and can be recognized by the relevant authorities for which the document is to be used. Embassy certification mainly includes civil certification and commercial certification. Civil certification, such as birth and income certificate and other commercial certification, such as certificate of origin, bill of lading, insurance policy, etc.
In recent years, my country's exports to Latin America, Africa, the Middle East and other countries and regions have increased year by year. In particular, light industrial products have obvious advantages. These countries and regions have become emerging markets for my country's foreign exports. In order to protect their own markets, these countries have formulated strict trade protection policies. Many of them require that documents for export commodities must be certified by the embassy of the importing country in my country before customs clearance procedures can be completed. At present, the main countries that require embassy authentication include Argentina, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Iran, the United Arab Emirates, Turkey, etc. However, in addition to the Middle East, South America, Africa and other regions, some European and American countries are also joining this ranks.
