How document processing works

The process of preparing a document begins with clarifying your goals and requirements: which specific document is needed, in what format, in which language, and for which country. After that, we request the original documents from you, and if necessary, translations. We prepare the correct text, coordinate it with you, and then submit it for notarization.

In most cases, documents are processed within one working day. For some types, a simple online form is enough — we will let you know additionally. We work with texts in Russian, Ukrainian, Portuguese, English, and other languages, so you can be sure that the meaning is conveyed precisely.

Notary consultation: when and why you might need it

During this process, our specialists will help clarify goals, requirements, and specific features of your case — to ensure the final document contains exactly what is needed and can be used correctly.

If you're not yet sure which document is required, are uncertain whether notarization is needed, or want to better understand your situation — you can first request a notary consultation, during which we'll assess your case, explain the available options, and suggest the optimal course of action without wasting time and money.
