Questions about this service
Legally careful answers – when in doubt, ask us before you start.
The notary. Every application is reviewed first; the notary decides the appropriate route for your document and the country where it will be used. If a request cannot be fulfilled, you hear it before you pay anything.
In the 130+ Hague Convention countries an apostille is the standard; for other countries (such as the UAE, Qatar or Egypt) legalisation applies. Tell us the destination – the review confirms what the recipient needs.
Yes. Sworn or certified translations into the language of the destination are added in the same request, with an apostille on the translation where the destination requires it.
You receive a written quote after the review: our service fee, any notary and authority fees (passed through without markup), translation and shipping as separate lines. Nothing is charged before you accept. Express – twice as fast – is optional.
