Is notarisation the
same as legalisation?


No.

A notarization or a notary signature and notary stamp that is placed on a document can only be done by a licensed notary public in the United States.

A legalisation (legalization) is a certificate or attestation that is placed on a document and can only be issued from a foreign U.S embassy, consulate, or consular office once a document is physically presented to them by mail or walk-in service.
