A document accepted locally may need authentication for use overseas. We coordinate the document route after checking its origin, destination and the receiving institution’s requirements.
Under the Apostille Convention, a competent authority in the place of origin issues the certificate for an eligible public document. It authenticates the origin of the document, not the truth of its commercial content or the company’s creditworthiness.
The applicable route depends on the relationship between the origin and destination jurisdictions and the document type. Where the Convention does not apply, another authentication or consular legalisation route may be needed. Confirm with the recipient before ordering.
An original registry certificate, an agent letter and a notarised copy are different starting points. The route may involve reissue, certification, notarisation, translation and authentication. We confirm the sequence and agreed handling before dispatch.
A wrong destination, unsupported copy, stale certificate or missing attachment can cause rejection. An apostille does not guarantee a bank or authority will accept the underlying document for its intended purpose.
