PFAT provides remote services for document translation, notarial certification, apostille processing and legalisation without requiring an initial office visit.
Some procedures require the original document. You can first send a photo or PDF for review and, after the order is confirmed, send the original by registered tracked mail.
Before sending the original, we recommend sending a photo or PDF of the document. We will assess it and agree the services, price and processing sequence.
The original may be required for notarial certification, an Apostille or legalisation. We confirm this after checking the document and destination country.
If the original must first be obtained from a Latvian authority, we can check document-request options, the required power of attorney and delivery.
Use registered mail or a courier and keep the tracking number. We return the documents using the delivery method agreed with you.
We do not determine the service from its name alone. We first review the document, clarify the destination country and take the receiving authority’s requirements into account if the client provides them.
Useful for internal use or situations without official certification requirements.
Used when an institution asks for agency or notarial certification.
Needed when a document and an officially prepared translation must be submitted abroad.
In some cases a standard translation is sufficient; official submission may require agency certification or notarial certification. The type of certification is determined by the receiving authority’s requirements.
When the text is needed for understanding or internal use.
When an institution asks for agency or notarial certification.
When a foreign authority also requires official confirmation of the document or translation.

Use registered tracked mail or a courier and include your contact details inside the envelope.
Depending on the document and authority, we can help request documents from Latvian institutions and confirm whether a power of attorney is needed.
We send them by registered mail or courier, according to your choice, and provide the shipment tracking number.
A notarised translation is needed when the institution requires an officially certified translation rather than a simple text translation. We check the required certification before processing the order.
