What we usually confirm first

Document typeFirst confirm whether the file is a public document, academic record, company document, or a private document that may need notarial handling first.
Destination countryWhether apostille is appropriate depends first on whether the destination accepts the Hague route.
Receiving-side requirementsWithin the same country, universities, employers, licensing bodies, and immigration authorities may still differ on originals, translation, or issue-date requirements.

Typical apostille workflow

  • Confirm whether the file can move directly to apostille or requires an upstream step first.
  • Check destination-country and receiving-side format requirements.
  • If needed, order the correct version, gather supporting records, or arrange translation.
  • After apostille, structure the final submission pack in the form required by the end user.
