Because Taiwan is outside the Apostille Convention, a Taiwanese document that will be used abroad usually needs a chain of authentications. Private documents such as declarations or powers of attorney are first authenticated by a notary. Public documents and notarized documents are then authenticated by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs' Bureau of Consular Affairs (BOCA, 外交部領事事務局). Finally, the representative office of the destination country in Taiwan legalizes the document.

Questions and answers
Do I need to come to your office from Yilan County?
No. Clients in Yilan County can send scans for a quote by email and courier originals to us. When a step requires you in person, such as signing before a notary, we arrange it within the jurisdiction of the Yilan District Court.
Which countries require legalization of Taiwanese documents?
Almost every country that receives a Taiwanese public document requires some form of authentication, and many also require legalization by their own office in Taiwan. The exact chain depends on the country and on the authority that will receive the document, so we confirm it with every quote.
My destination country has no representative office in Taiwan. What happens then?
In that case the document is usually authenticated by BOCA and then legalized by that country's embassy or consulate in a third country that covers Taiwan. We coordinate this through our international network.
