The classic trap: the wrong order

The typical file has three layers: certified copy, international legalisation, certified translation. Assembly order matters — depending on the country, the copy is apostilled then translated, or the translation itself must be legalised. Get it wrong and the file is refused after weeks — start over.

We check your country's and institution's precise requirements before launching, and assemble the dossier so it's accepted first time. Budget tip: order two certified sets up front — multiple applications each need their own file, and the second set ordered together costs far less than a second full procedure.

Frequently asked questions

Must I send my original diplomas?
Usually not: a quality scan makes the certified copy that gets legalised. Your originals never leave home.
«Apostilled and translated» — in what order?
It varies by country and sometimes institution. Give us the destination: we apply the required order — and check the institution's instructions when in doubt.
Do you translate diplomas too?
Yes — certified translations by ABC Translation, recognised by authorities. Diploma, transcript and attestations in one grouped order.
How long for a complete file?
Certified copy + apostille: about 3–5 business days. Add the certified translation (2–4 days) and, for non-Hague countries, the consular timeline. The quote shows the total.
