Before discussing New Zealand certification, we must first understand what certification is. Certification refers to the act of a country's diplomatic, consular and authorized institutions to confirm the authenticity of the last signature or seal of the notary certification authority on foreign-related documents. The purpose of authentication is to make the notarized document issued by one country recognized by the relevant authorities of another country, and not to affect the legal effect of the document because of doubts about the authenticity of the signature or seal on the document, even if the document has extraterritorial effect. According to the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations and other relevant regulations, the embassy accepts applications for authentication within the consular jurisdiction (consular district) of the embassy.
