Common situations

Perhaps you are in one of these cases

Opening an office in the Gulf

Representative office in Dubai, company in Qatar or Saudi Arabia: local authorities require legalized, translated corporate documents. We prepare the complete required file, within your project's timeline.

Working abroad

Work visas for the UAE, China and elsewhere: diplomas, criminal records and medical certificates often need legalization and translation. We tell you the exact list and take care of it.

Lawyers' and notaries' files

Deeds and powers of attorney for countries outside the apostille system: we coordinate legalization and sworn translation with the rigour your files demand.

Frequently asked questions

Your questions, answered

Can you handle everything on my behalf?
Yes: you entrust us with the document, we determine the applicable path, complete each step up to the consulate and produce the certified translation if needed. You collect a complete, ready-to-use file.
How do I know whether my country requires legalization or an apostille?
You don't have to know — that is our job. Tell us the destination country and we confirm the applicable procedure immediately. And if a simple apostille is enough, we will tell you: it is faster and cheaper for you.
How long does it take?
Consular legalization involves several steps and timelines vary by consulate. Tell us your deadline from the start: we give you a realistic schedule, and our express service prioritises urgent files.
Do you also do the certified translation?
Yes — and that is our strength: legalization and sworn translation are completed together, in the right order, with a single point of contact.
