Procedure

How the process works

Preparing documents for use abroad is easier when the destination country, the institution where they will be submitted and the purpose are known from the start.

The process begins with an assessment of the document, after which it is determined whether apostille, translation, notarial certification or legalisation is needed.

How the process works

Steps to a finished document

After assessing the document, we agree on the preparation sequence, deadline and cost, so the client knows what happens at each stage.

  • Send the document
  • We agree on the sequence
  • We prepare it
  • We hand over the finished document

Document check

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.

  • Document type
  • Destination country
  • Submission purpose

How we prepare your document

We help determine the sequence of services: translation, notarisation, Apostille or document legalisation.

  • Translation
  • Certification
  • Apostille or legalisation
Order of work

At what point each document action happens

Workflow: document review, quote and preparation. Collection or delivery of the result is agreed separately.

1

Check

At the start we determine the document type, country, language and the certification needed.

2

Agreement

Before starting, we confirm the price, deadline, urgency and how the document will be received.

3

Document preparation

After reviewing the document and clarifying the destination country, we propose the required services: translation, notarisation, an Apostille or legalisation.

Practical process

From a photo of the document to a finished result

The process is built so the client quickly understands what happens at each stage and why a document check is needed before preparation.

An image of the document is usually enough for the initial assessment.

Price and deadline

Agreement before work

Before preparation, we confirm the cost, deadline and order.

How document preparation work is organised

This is the general workflow when it is not yet clear whether an Apostille, legalisation, translation or notarisation is needed.

Start

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to bring the original?

That depends on the document type and the certification required.

Can everything be agreed remotely?

In many cases the initial assessment can be done remotely.

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.
