Document translation and authentication Official documents are valid only in the country were they have been issued. In order for the documents to be recognized abroad, they should be authenticated or legalized. But first of all they should be translated by an officially recognized translator. There are cases when this translation should be legalized too. Translation We translate the following official documents: Adoption documents Affidavits Birth certificates Certificates of bachelorhood Certificates of good conduct Certificates of matrimonial capacity Certificates of no impediment to get married Civil status certificates Citizenship certificates Death Certificates Divorce decrees Marriage certificates Nationality certificates Police records Residence certificates Sworn affidavits Unmarried certificates If you have not found the document you need to be translated on the list, please scan your document and send it to us for a detailed estimate. Authentication Countries which are participants of "The Hague Convention Abolishing the Requirement of Legalization for Foreign Public Documents" of 2007 replaced an expensive process of legalizing by an easier procedure called Apostille of The Hague. Public documents, including documents notarized by a Notary Public, which have been affixed or attached with an Apostille Certificate by the government of their country, are automatically accepted for legal use in foreign countries which are signatories to the Hague Convention.
