Document Legalisation Services in Ireland

Certif was founded by lawyer linguists and we have an expertise in translating complex legal proceedings.

Ensuring Your Documents are Recognised Worldwide

At Certif, we offer comprehensive document legalisation services to ensure your important documents are recognised and accepted internationally. Whether you need documents Apostilled, notarised translations, or certified copies, our team of experts is here to assist you every step of the way.

Document Legalisation Services


1. Apostille Services

We arrange for your documents to be Apostilled through the Department of Foreign Affairs of Ireland. An Apostille certifies the authenticity of the document, making it valid for use in countries that are signatories to the Hague Apostille Convention. This service is essential for legal documents, educational certificates, and other official papers.

2. Notarised Translations

Through our partnerships with accredited Irish notaries, we provide notarised translations of your documents. This service ensures that your translated documents are legally recognised and can be used for official purposes in Ireland and abroad. Our professional translators and notaries work together to deliver accurate and certified translations.

3. Certified Copies

Our in-house legal team creates certified copies of your important documents. Certified copies are often required for legal, business, and personal matters, ensuring that your original documents remain secure while you provide verified copies to the relevant authorities.

Our Document Legalisation Process

At Certif, we follow a streamlined and meticulous process to ensure that your documents are legally recognised and accepted internationally. Our document legalisation process includes:

1. Document Review & Preparation

We carefully review your documents to ensure they meet the necessary legalisation requirements. If any modifications or additional documentation are required, we guide you through the process.

2. Notary Public Certification

If required, we arrange for your documents to be notarised by an accredited Irish Notary Public, certifying their authenticity and validity.

4. Authentication

For certain documents, authentication by the Department of Foreign Affairs is necessary. This step confirms the notary’s signature and ensures the document’s legitimacy.

4. Apostille (if applicable)

If your document is to be used in a country that is a signatory to the Hague Apostille Convention, we obtain an Apostille from the Department of Foreign Affairs, certifying its validity.

5. Final Delivery

Once the legalisation process is complete, we securely deliver your certified, authenticated, or Apostilled documents to you, ensuring they are ready for official use.
