Authentication Services

文件認證

To facilitate efficient transactions between Taiwan and the Philippines, the MECO Legal Services of the Consular Affairs Office authenticates documents that may have been issued or executed in Taiwan.  In many cases, Philippine authorities, business firms, or individuals require authentication of documents.

為了能更有效的辦理台灣和菲律賓之文件認證, 馬尼拉經濟文化辦事處的領事事務局之法律服務處將辦理台灣相關文件用於菲律賓的政府機構, 商業用途或私人文件之認證業務.

在許多情況下，菲律賓的政府機構, 商業機構或個人用途上都需要經認證之文件，為了能更有效的辦理台灣和菲律賓之間的文件認證，馬尼拉經濟文化辦事處的領事事務局之法律服務處將辦理認證在台灣簽發之相關文件

Authentication does not mean that the document is genuine, proper, or legal. Authentication does not go into the contents of the document. The act of authentication simply refers to certifying that the signature of an official is genuine.  In the case of MECO, the office is certifying that the signature of the Ministry of Foreign of Affairs (MOFA) official authorized to authenticate a Taiwanese document is genuine.  The requirements are stated below.

馬尼拉經濟文化辦事處所認證之文件只限於證明該文件官方以及外交部官員之所簽屬的簽名屬實. 經過認證文件並不代表文件本身是正本,文件內容無誤無不符以及具有法律效力.  必備文件請參照下方.
