Document retrieval
We obtain certificates, court records and registry extracts on your behalf — ideal if you live abroad.
If you live abroad or simply don't have time to queue, we obtain documents on your behalf — from civil registry offices, courts, the Central Registry, the Real Estate Cadastre Agency and educational institutions.
We can then translate, apostille or legalise the documents straight away and ship them to any address in the world. Instead of three services in three places, you receive a finished document that the receiving institution will accept.
Frequently asked questions
What do you need to obtain a document on my behalf?
Usually a copy of your ID card or passport and, for some documents, a power of attorney. We will send you the exact list for your document.
Can you send documents abroad?
Yes, by courier to any country. We can also translate and certify them for that country before they leave.
Can you find an old document, for example from before 1991?
In many cases, yes, through the relevant archive or registry office. We will tell you up front whether it is possible.
