Document Translation and Consular Legalization in Odessa

In Ukraine and abroad, the demand for document translation and legalization is growing every day. This is due to the development of international relations, business growth, establishing connections with foreign partners, as well as population migration. Today, virtually any document or certificate requires legal certification.

Legalization is a specific official procedure that endows a document with legal force in the country where it will be presented. This procedure includes certifying a document or certificate with specific stamps that confirm the document's authenticity, as well as signatures of authorized persons. It should be noted that any document has legal force only within the territory of the country or state where it was issued, and when traveling abroad, it must be legalized.

When traveling abroad for study, permanent residence, work, or other reasons, you will absolutely need a translation of the basic package of documents, which includes birth certificate, passport, document confirming your level of education, certificate of no criminal record, etc. Each of them requires legal certification. At our agency, specialists will translate all necessary documents and also provide the service of legalizing any documents. Our employees not only translate the text but also always assist with the correct completion of various types of forms and documents.

Types of Legalization

There are two types of document legalization:

• Apostille Stamp or Apostillation — an alternative to consular legalization, or in other words, its simplified version. It has legal force in countries that are parties to the Hague Convention of 1961. It comes in two types: single and double. Today, a number of countries have entered into an agreement allowing for online apostillation of documents using the Internet and QR codes.
• Consular Legalization of Documents — this type is significantly more complex and is mainly needed for the purpose of presenting documents to the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. It can be carried out either at a foreign consulate or embassy. However, in most cases, the wait can be long. This can significantly impact your business, cause you to lose a contract, miss a deadline for submitting documents to a foreign university, or lead to other adverse consequences.
