FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Will the civil registry office accept the translation?

Requirements vary from one canton and office to another. Tell us which office it is for and we will confirm the required form before we start.

Do I need an apostille?

That depends on the country that issued the document. The apostille is obtained in the country of origin; we translate the apostilled document if the office requires it.

Can I just send a photo?

Yes, for the quote. A clear photo or scan is enough. For the certification, we will tell you whether the original or a certified copy is needed.
