双认证，也叫使馆认证，二级认证，即外交部认证和使馆认证，是相对于单认证而言的。Double certification, also known as embassy certification, secondary certification, namely Ministry of Foreign Affairs certification and embassy certification, is relative to the single certification.
领事认证是指一国外交、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 a country's diplomatic and consular organs and their authorized organs to confirm the authenticity of the last signature (seal) or seal of the notarial organ, corresponding organ or certification organ on notarial documents or other certification documents.
我国内地出具的有关涉外公证书或其他相关证明文书等在送往外国使用前需要办理外交部领事司或地方外办和外国驻华使领馆的领事认证。
Notarial certificates concerning foreign affairs or other relevant documents issued by the Mainland of China need to go through the consular certification of the Department of Consular Affairs of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs or local foreign affairs offices and foreign embassies and consulates in China before being sent to foreign countries for use.
反之，外国出具的有关文书拟送往我国使用前需在当地办理有关公证及认证后，再到我国驻该国使领馆办理领事认证。这就是双认证。
On the contrary, the relevant documents issued by foreign countries to be sent to China for use in the local notarization and certification, and then to the Chinese embassy and consulate in that country for consular certification. This is double authentication.
根据国际惯例，一国文书送往另一国使用，除有双边协议或多边协议或一国单方免除认证外，一般均须办理双认证。
According to international practice, a document sent to another country for use, in addition to a bilateral agreement or multilateral agreement or a country unilateral exemption from certification, generally need to handle double certification.
办理双认证，使馆认证的法律依据：《关于取消要求外国公文书认证的公约》（Convention Abolishing the Requirement of Legalisation for Foreign Public Documents，简称1961年《海牙取消认证公约》）。
由于中国尚未加入海牙公约，因此无论国外文书拿到中国使用，还是中国文书拿到国外使用，都必须办理使馆认证，即双认证。
