An apostille for company documents may be needed for international transactions, registering a company abroad, banking procedures or legal representation.
For company documents, it is important to clarify the complete document list and destination country. If the client has instructions from the receiving authority about translation or certification, we take them into account.
Foreign partners or institutions may request register extracts, articles of association, board decisions, powers of attorney, contracts or other company documents.
Before processing, we review the document and clarify the destination country. If the client provides instructions from the receiving authority, we take them into account.
We help determine the sequence of services: translation, notarisation, Apostille or document legalisation.
PFAT assesses the document and prepares it for submission. Since 1 July 2019, apostilles for public documents in Latvia are issued by sworn notaries. Requirements can vary by country and receiving authority, so also check the current procedure in the official sources.
We help prepare personal, educational, legal and company documents for translation, certification and submission in Latvia or abroad.
Company documents often require several attachments, extracts or powers of attorney. Before preparation, we review the document set; if the client has instructions from the receiving authority, we take them into account.
If the client has received a document list from the receiving authority, we check the completeness of the set being prepared.
Based on the document and provided requirements, we clarify which services are needed: notarisation, an Apostille, legalisation or translation.
We align terminology and language across the whole document set.
Company documents often consist of several extracts, articles of association, resolutions, powers of attorney or certificates. Before the apostille, we check the list against the requirements the client has confirmed with the receiving institution.
If the client has received instructions from the receiving authority, we check which documents need to be certified and submitted together.
We align company names, job titles and legal terms across the whole set.
If the documents are needed for a transaction, we align the deadline with the submission date.
To receive Apostille or place a translation order, bring the document originals to our office or send scanned documents to birojs@pfat.lv.
Often yes, especially if they are submitted to foreign institutions or partners.
This depends on the country where the document will be used. In some cases, legalisation or additional certification is required.
An Apostille confirms the authenticity of a public document for use in countries applying the Hague Convention.
Yes, a photo or PDF is enough for the first assessment, although the original may be required later.
Part of the preparation can start remotely after reviewing a photo or PDF of the document. If the original is required, we explain it before the next step.
The correct order depends on the destination country and the receiving institution. We check whether apostille, translation, notary certification or legalisation should come first.
Yes, but it's safer to first check the full list of documents so nothing is missing from the submission set.
Send the list of documents so we can agree on the apostille, translation and deadline.
