Both countries are party to the 1961 Hague Convention. The apostille is affixed once to the original and the document is valid in the destination country; no consulate visit is needed. If the document is translated, a notary certifies the translation — that is the second authority.
Tell us the document type and the authority that will receive it, and we will confirm which certification comes in which order. The same team follows it from translation to the final stamp.
Steps
General rule: certificate first, translation after. The apostille goes onto the ORIGINAL; the translation is then made and notarised separately. Some consulates want the reverse — the institution receiving your document states the order it requires.

You choose what we measure
We ask permission to measure which pages are read and whether our ads work. We never send your name, phone or email.
If we can see which ad brought you here, we can switch off the ones that don't work and spend the budget where it actually helps. We never send your name, phone, email or file number — only which page you're on. You can change your mind any time, from the bottom of any page.
