FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is an apostille?

A certificate authenticating a public document for use in another Hague Convention country.

What if my destination isn't in the Hague Convention?

We arrange full legalisation through the relevant consular channel instead.

Which country will use the document?

Tell us at the start. The destination country decides whether an apostille, legalisation or a certified translation is needed.

Can I send documents electronically?

For many services we can begin from scans and confirm what originals are required. We explain the process for your case at consultation.

This page is general information, not legal advice, and no attorney–client relationship is formed by reading it. Program, tax and filing rules change; we confirm the specifics for your situation at consultation.
