领事认证和使馆认证有什么不同，是一个意思吗？

What is the difference between consular certification and embassy certification?

回答内容：领事认证就是指一国外交、领事机构及其授权机构在公证文书或其他证明文书上，确认公证机构、相应机关或者认证机关的最后一个签字（签章）或印章属实的活动。Consular certification refers to the activity of confirming the last signature (seal) or seal of the notary office, the corresponding authority or the certification authority on the notarial document or other certifying document

使馆和领事馆所认证出的文件在该国家一样都能被承认，例如出口的商业文件，在北京大使馆、上海领事馆、广州领事馆都可以一样做认证的，不同的是北京是大使馆，其它地区只是领事馆。不过有些国家只在北京设有大使馆，在其它地区没有领事馆的，由于北京大使馆的权威，所以很多出口企业商业文件通过北京大使馆做认证加签。所以常见的：使馆认证、领事认证、使馆加签，其实可以简单的理解为一个意思。Documents certified by embassies and consulates can be recognized in this country as well. For example, commercial documents exported can be certified by Beijing Embassy, Shanghai Consulate, guangzhou Consulate. The difference is that Beijing is an embassy, while other areas are just consulates. However, some countries only have embassies in Beijing, there is no consulate in other areas, because of the authority of the Beijing Embassy, so a lot of export enterprises business documents through the Beijing Embassy to do certification and sign. So common: embassy certification, consular certification, embassy signature, in fact, can be simply understood as the same meaning

领事认证和使馆认证说白了就是一个意思，只是两种不同的叫法，没有什么特别的区别
