Common questions
Authentication, legalization, or apostille?
It depends on the destination country and document type. We confirm the correct path at intake so you pay for the right process once.
How long does authentication take?
Government processing times vary and are outside our control. We quote current published timelines and manage the file to avoid avoidable delay.
