Official document retrieval
Living abroad, short of time or unsure which office to contact? We order official documents on your behalf, check they are recent and compliant, and then move on to translation, apostille or legalisation if needed.
Documents we obtain
- Full copies and extracts of birth, marriage and death certificates
- Criminal record extracts
- Company extracts (Kbis), articles, registry documents
- Duplicate diplomas and certificates of completion
- Foreign documents through our partner network
One contact from start to finish
Getting a certificate, having it apostilled and then translated involves three different offices. We bring these steps into one file, with one quote and clear tracking, and deliver a document you can use right away.
Some documents require your authorisation or an ID document: we tell you exactly what to provide.

Frequently asked questions
Can you get a foreign birth certificate?
Yes, for many countries, through our network. Timing depends on the country and registry; you get an estimate with your quote.
My document is old: is it still valid?
Many authorities require a certificate issued within the last three or six months. We check the receiving body's rules and order a new copy if needed.
Do you need a power of attorney?
For some documents, yes. We provide the template for you to sign.
