When exporting goods abroad, it is often not enough to simply issue an invoice — authorities or banks may require its apostille or superlegalisation / embassy attestation. We will handle the entire legalisation process for you, including notary and certified translation services.
You may need an export invoice when exporting goods abroad for:
In some cases, it is necessary to obtain an apostille or superlegalisation / embassy attestation depending on the destination country.
Invoices are usually issued in English, so no translation is required. We can arrange apostille or superlegalisation / embassy attestation directly on an English invoice. If a certified translation into another language is required, we will be happy to provide it.
The apostille can be obtained in two ways:
This can only be issued on the original invoice. In some cases, a certified translation of the invoice into the destination country’s language is required. Certain embassies may also require the certified translation itself to be superlegalised / embassy attested.
The processing time for an apostille is 1–2 business days. The processing time for superlegalisation / embassy attestation depends on the destination country, but is usually about 1 week.
Certified translations are part of most apostille or superlegalisation cases.
As a translation agency, we naturally provide certified (official) translations into all major world languages as part of our service.
We will take care of certified copies of your documents, or arrange for signature verification with our notary.
We can also convert electronic documents into physical form and obtain official extracts on your behalf — such as criminal record extracts or entries from the Commercial Register.
We will represent you at the authorities to obtain vital records or, for example, a criminal record extract, based on a certified power of attorney. This power of attorney can be arranged either at a Czech POINT office or at a Czech embassy or consulate abroad.
Invoices are generally issued in English and do not require translation. All embassies accept English-language documents. However, if your foreign partner requires a translation into their official language, we can provide a certified translation.
A power of attorney is not required for apostille. For superlegalisation / embassy attestation, some embassies (e.g. Thailand) may require a power of attorney from the company director listed in the Commercial Register. We can provide a template if needed.
