Legitimated
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Refers to specific legal forms of authentication by the State. It may apply in regard to documents, where the authentication of an official such as a notary to a document to be used in international transactions will undergo the process of legitimation (a formal blessing of the document by national authorities).
Legitimation also refers to the official recognition of a child born out of wedlock, whose parents subsequently marry, as a child of that marriage.
