We request documents from Latvian institutions and help arrange the power of attorney, translation, delivery, and further certification.
After receiving the document, we can also help with its further preparation: translation, notarised translation, apostille or legalisation, if the document is intended for submission abroad.
PFAT helps request the most commonly needed documents and certificates from Latvian state institutions, if the client is not in Latvia or wishes to entrust the entire process to a single office.
For our employee to represent the client at a Latvian institution, a notarised power of attorney is often required. It must specify which documents need to be obtained and from which institutions they should be requested.
This service is especially useful when a document is needed by a foreign institution, an embassy, an employer, a university, or for handling family matters, but the original issued in Latvia is not available or a new extract is needed.
If the obtained document is intended for use abroad, translation, notarisation, an Apostille or legalisation may also be required. The exact submission requirements should be confirmed with the receiving authority.
We help prepare personal, educational, legal and company documents for translation, certification and submission in Latvia or abroad.
Sometimes an Apostille or translation cannot be started because a new extract, duplicate or a specific document form is needed. We first identify the issuing authority; the client should confirm the required submission form with the foreign receiving authority.
We determine where to request the document and whether it can be done remotely.
We clarify which document the client wants to obtain: an original, extract, reissued document or multilingual form, where available.
We plan translation, apostille or legalisation without unnecessary delay.
If the document has not yet been obtained, it is important to clarify which form is needed for the selected service. The client separately confirms the foreign recipient's submission requirements.
We determine the issuing authority and whether the document can be requested remotely.
We assess the document form; the client should confirm the required form for foreign submission with the receiving authority.
At the request stage, we clarify which services may be needed after the document is obtained: translation, notarisation, an Apostille or legalisation. Collection or delivery is agreed separately.
To receive Apostille or place a translation order, bring the document originals to our office or send scanned documents to birojs@pfat.lv.
Fill in the form from anywhere, attach a photo of your document, and we will prepare an exact price and delivery options — no need to leave home.
Yes. The service covers documents and certificates issued by Latvian institutions.
If the document qualifies and the country where it will be used requires it, an apostille or legalisation may be needed.
You can send birth and marriage certificates, diplomas, statements, powers of attorney, company documents and other documents for review. After checking them, we clarify the correct process.

Choose “Other document” in the form or send a document photo. We will check the issuing authority, destination country and required preparation route.
