International formalities

Apostille: we handle the entire process for you

You have been asked for an 'apostille' on a birth certificate, diploma, company extract or court decision? You don't need to become an expert. Bring us your document, tell us the destination country: we explain what you need and take care of everything — apostille and certified translation together, in the right order. Note that the French procedure changed in 2025, and much of what you will read online is out of date.

Common situations

Perhaps you are in one of these cases

Studying or working abroad

US and UK universities and employers ask for apostilled, translated documents. We prepare the complete file, apostille and translation coordinated.

Getting married or settling abroad

Birth certificate, celibacy certificate, criminal record: most countries require apostilled and translated documents. We tell you the exact list for your country.

Business abroad

Company extracts, articles of association, powers of attorney: to open a subsidiary or sign abroad, your corporate documents must be apostilled — or legalized, depending on the country. We coordinate it all.

Frequently asked questions

Your questions, answered

Can you handle everything on my behalf?
Yes, that is exactly our role: you entrust us with the document, we determine the procedure, obtain the apostille and produce the certified translation if needed. You collect a complete file, at our Champs-Élysées office or by delivery.
How do I know what my destination country requires?
You don't have to know — that is our job. Tell us the country and the purpose (marriage, studies, visa, business…), and we confirm the applicable procedure immediately.
Should the document be translated before or after the apostille?
It depends on the destination country, and getting the order wrong is a classic cause of rejected files. We check the exact requirement and complete both steps in the right order.
How long does it take?
For a simple document, the translation can often be completed within 24 to 72 hours. If your deadline is close, tell us: our express service handles urgent files as a priority.
