Document examples
Documents and situations we work with
We help prepare personal, educational, legal and company documents for translation, certification and submission in Latvia or abroad.
How we work
The goal is to identify the required services without unnecessary steps
If a document requires translation, an Apostille or legalisation, the sequence of services should be established before work begins. The client confirms the receiving authority’s requirements and provides them to PFAT where available.
Document assessment
We look at the document, country and receiving institution, not just the service name.
We explain the order
We explain which services may be required: translation, notarisation, an Apostille or legalisation.
We prepare for submission
We help prepare the document with a clear price, processing time and agreed list of services.
Our approach
We work with the client’s situation, not just a service name
Clients often do not need to know the exact service name. It is enough to show the document and say where it will be submitted. We can then explain which PFAT services may be required.
We start with the document
We clarify the document type, destination country and the receiving authority’s requirements when provided by the client.
We explain the required services
We explain translation, notarisation, an Apostille and legalisation separately.
We finish the preparation
We agree on the price, deadline and handover of the finished document.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Can you advise on the sequence of services?
Yes, if the document type, destination country and institution where it will be submitted are known.
Do you only work with apostille?
No, we also handle translations, notarised translations and document legalisation.
Can I send the document online?
Yes. A photo or PDF is enough for the first review, although the original may be needed before final preparation.
What affects the price?
The price depends on the document type, destination country, translation, certification method, urgency and delivery method.
Do I need a translation?
It depends on the country and the institution where the document will be submitted. Some cases need only an apostille, while others require a translation or notarisation.
