Legalisation route

Apostille, EU recognition or consular legalisation?

Greece — EU member state: civil-status documents often travel without an Apostille (Regulation 1191/2016); for this document type we confirm the right route in the quote.

Your route

Apostille (Hague Convention 1961)

125 contracting parties accept Apostille as legalisation. Fastest route for most non-EU countries.

  1. Sworn translation of your document
  2. Apostille by the competent authority in the issuing country
  3. Document valid for use in the destination country

Other routes

Direct EU recognition

Within the EU, direct recognition applies (Brussels IIa/IIb, Regulation 1191/2016) — no Apostille or legalisation required.

Consular legalisation

For non-Hague countries (e.g. Eritrea, Iran, Vietnam, Saudi Arabia, Iraq), consular legalisation via the Foreign Office and the destination embassy.

Do I need a certified translation for my document?
For official procedures (registry office, immigration, court), a certified or sworn translation is typically required. We work with sworn translators registered in the relevant national register where the procedure demands it.
What is the difference between an Apostille and consular legalisation?
The Apostille (Hague Convention 1961) is a simplified legalisation between 125 contracting parties. For non-Hague countries, consular legalisation applies via the Foreign Office and the destination embassy.
How long does a certified translation take?
Turnaround depends on document type, language pair and certification requirements. We confirm a realistic deadline in the quote.
Can you attach the original to the translation?
Yes. A certified translation includes a certified copy or the original attached to the translation according to a fixed procedure, with closing formula, signature and stamp.
What do I need to request a quote?
A scan or photo of the document, the target language and the destination country. We assess whether Apostille or legalisation is required.
