Documents that can be legalised.

An Apostille certificate is typically an A5 size piece of paper that is attached to the reverse side of the document it has been issued to. It must follow a strict format and contain specific information such as the country of issue, date of issue and details relating to the person or authority that has signed or sealed the document.
