Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about document verification and attestation — for anything else, our team is happy to walk you through it directly.
What should I provide first?
Share the document type, destination or authority requiring verification, and the documents available to you. We will confirm the applicable verification or attestation steps.
What's the difference between verification, notarization and attestation?
Verification confirms a document is genuine; notarization is a legal certification step; attestation is government or ministry-level authentication, often required for use abroad. We'll clarify what your specific application needs.
How long does attestation usually take?
It varies by document type, issuing authority and destination, so we don't quote a fixed timeline. Your consultant will give you a realistic estimate once we review your documents.
Can you attest documents for any country?
We support attestation chains for a range of destinations. Let us know your specific case and we'll confirm what's possible.
What if my document is damaged or unclear?
Attestation authorities generally require legible originals. We'll advise on next steps, which may include requesting a certified reissue from the original authority.
Is document verification the same as translation?
No, though they're often needed together — a document may need both translation and attestation, depending on the destination's requirements.
Is approval of my visa application guaranteed once documents are attested?
No. Attestation confirms your documents are genuine and properly certified; the visa decision itself remains solely with the relevant embassy or authority.
