What is included
Legalization is a process, not just a stamp
Every document has a different path depending on the country of issue, the institution before which it will be presented, and whether apostille or other certification is needed. That is why we start with review and clear guidance.
Apostille
The apostille certifies public acts and documents for use in countries that are part of the Hague Convention. When applicable, it often replaces additional certifications.
When it is needed
Most often for diplomas, birth certificates, attestations, company documents, powers of attorney and other documents for education, work, business or administrative procedures abroad.
Price and deadline
The price depends on the type of document, the country, the required certifications and the deadline. That is why we first review the document and confirm the exact process before starting.
Why it matters
The document must be accepted where it will be used
For documents for abroad it is often not enough for the translation to be accurate only. The institution may require apostille, certification of the original, certification of the translator's signature or specific formatting according to the country.
The ProTrans Expert team checks what is applicable for the specific document and gives you practical guidance before you start the procedure. This avoids unnecessary trips to institutions and returning documents for additional formatting.
