Do you get an apostille for my birth certificate?

Why we do not arrange apostilles

No. We provide the certified translation only. An apostille confirms that a public document, such as a birth certificate, is genuine. It is issued by the competent authority of the country that issued the document, not by a translation company.

Whether you need an apostille depends on the office that receives your document. If they ask for one, it must be added to the original document first.

How to get an apostille for your birth certificate

1. Ask the receiving office whether they need an apostille.
2. If yes, request it from the authority in the country that issued the birth certificate.
3. Scan the birth certificate with the apostille and upload it. We translate the apostille as part of the document.

Good to know about apostilles

• An apostilled document with extra pages: each page with text counts as a page.
• Certified copies of civil records also come from the government office, not from us.
• A notarized translation is something else: it confirms who signed the translator’s certificate.
