What does embassy legalization mean exactly?

Embassy legalization is way of document authentication for countries that have not signed the Hague Convention.These countries, among which China, UAE and Brazil, do not accept an apostille. Legalization occurs in these cases through the embassy or consulate. Normally the document first needs to have been certified by a public or solicitor notary. Then it has to be authenticated by the Secretary of State, embassy, consulate or state department, depending on the document and the country where it will be used.
