Apostille & Translation Details →
ATA Corporate MemberTranslation is quoted separately after document review.The United States and Kazakhstan are parties to the 1961 Apostille Convention. When the Convention applies to the public document, an apostille replaces the longer consular legalization chain. The organization receiving the document still decides which version, translation and date requirements it will accept.
A state document is normally apostilled by the competent authority of the state that issued or notarized it. A federal document is handled through the U.S. Department of State. The destination country does not determine the U.S. filing office—the document's issuing authority does.
It depends on the document and the authority that will issue the apostille. Vital records usually require an official certified copy; notarized documents generally require an original notarization. A simple photocopy is often not eligible. We review a scan before you mail anything.
Confirm the recipient's rules first. In many cases the apostille is obtained first, then the document and apostille certificate are translated together. Translation is a separate service and an apostille does not translate or certify the document's contents.
No. An FBI Identity History Summary is a federal document and follows the U.S. Department of State route. Do not notarize the FBI report to turn it into a state document.
Timing depends on the issuing state or federal authority, document readiness, shipping and current government processing. We confirm the route and provide the current estimate after reviewing the document; government processing times are not guaranteed by a private service.
