FAQ | notarisation for Ethiopia

Is Swedish notarisation the same as DARS?
No. Here Notarius Publicus in Sweden attests a document that can then be legalised for use in Ethiopia. DARS registers documents that must take effect there.
Is the embassy stamp included in notarisation?
No. Notarisation is a separate step. For Ethiopia we add MFA and the embassy when the recipient requires legalisation.
