Trademark Certificate Legalization for Use in Syria
A Trademark Certificate is a crucial intellectual property document that formally recognizes the exclusive rights granted to a business or individual for a specific brand name, logo, symbol, or mark used in commerce. When U.S.-issued trademark certificates need to be presented in Syria they must undergo a formal authentication and legalization process to be accepted by Syrian authorities.
With the Embassy of Syria in Washington, D.C. temporarily closed, securing proper legalization requires professional handling, precise routing, and reliable coordination to ensure the document remains compliant with international and local requirements.
Trademark Certificate Legalization Process
USACC coordinates the full authentication and legalization workflow required for Trademark Certificates intended for use in Syria. Although the Embassy remains temporarily closed, USACC continues to facilitate the appropriate steps to ensure compliant processing.
Our Process Includes:
- Maryland State Court Authentication: Verification of notarization or certification, ensuring the document meets state requirements.
- U.S. Department of State Authentication: Federal authentication confirming that the state-issued authorization is legitimate and recognized at the national level.
- Coordination with the Embassy of Syria in Washington, D.C.: Despite temporary embassy closure, USACC manages all necessary communication and procedures associated with the final legalization requirements.
- Affixing of the Official USACC Chamber Stamp: After all authentications are completed, documents receive the final chamber stamp as part of international legalization standards.

Why Trademark Certificate Legalization is Required for Syria
Trademark Certificates issued in the United States cannot be used directly in Syria without official validation. Syrian authorities require verification that the document is genuine, properly issued, and authorized for international recognition. Legalization ensures:
- Authenticity of the Trademark Certificate: Confirming that the document was issued by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).
- International Acceptance: Certification allows the document to be legally recognized by Syrian governmental and commercial institutions.
- Protection of Intellectual Property Rights: Fully legalized documents strengthen claims of ownership and reduce risks related to infringement, counterfeit goods, or unauthorized use.
- Compliance With Import, Distribution, and Franchise Regulations: Businesses entering the Syrian market must provide properly legalized documentation to complete registration or licensing procedures.
