We obtain official documents in the country of issue and arrange the apostille or legalisation, the translation, the certification required and international delivery — separately or as a full package for a particular procedure.
BRIDGES GLOBAL supports the obtaining and preparation of personal, corporate, banking, educational, court and other official documents in international jurisdictions. You can order a single service or hand us the whole documentary project — from obtaining the documents that are missing to a fully prepared set for residency, citizenship, a bank, a company, a property purchase or another procedure.

Packages
A full set of documents for a procedure
The client does not have to order ten services separately: the package is assembled for a particular purpose and run as one project.
Civil status, certificates, education, employment, financial documents, the apostille and translation.
The certificate of incorporation, good standing, the charter, the registers, the resolutions and the powers of attorney with an apostille and translation.
The documents for compliance: evidence of the origin of funds and the tax, corporate and financial documents.
Powers of attorney, corporate and banking documents, register extracts and the material from the check on the property.
The documents for structures, succession and evidencing the history of the capital.
Several countries
Documents from different jurisdictions — in one project
The typical situation of an international family: the certificate was issued in one country, the police clearance is needed from another and the diploma from a third. We run the whole set as one project and bring the documents to a single format for filing.

How we run the project
One coordinator for the whole set
If twenty documents from five countries in three languages are needed, the client should not have to deal with fifteen contractors. The project is run by one BRIDGES GLOBAL specialist: they hold the deadlines, the format and the order of the procedures.
- 01Settling the composition
We check the requirements of the procedure and draw up the list of documents.
- 02Obtaining what is missing
We obtain the documents and archive records in the countries of issue.
- 03Legalisation
We take each document through the apostille or the consular route.
- 04Translation and certification
We carry out the translation in the pair required and the form of certification needed.
- 05Checking the set
We check the composition, the validity periods and the spelling of names before filing.
- 06Delivery
We hand the set to the client or send it by courier to the country needed.
Geography
Documents from international jurisdictions
We work with the countries where we have checked partners and a clear procedure. The form in which a document is recognised is given in the apostille and legalisation catalogue.

Questions and answers
Questions about preparing documents
The individual pages sell a particular procedure: an apostille, legalisation, a translation, a certificate of no criminal record. This section brings them into one project: we settle the list for your procedure, obtain the documents that are missing, run the legalisation, the translation and the certification and hand over the finished set.
No. It is enough to name the country and the procedure — residency, citizenship, a bank, a company, a deal. We settle the list and the order of the procedures and confirm them against the requirements of the particular programme.
Yes, that is a frequent scenario for an international family: a certificate from one country, police clearance from another, a diploma from a third. Everything is run as one project with one timeline and one format for filing.
Yes. The sets for the applicant, the spouse and the children are run together: that makes it easier to hold the validity periods of the certificates and to keep the spelling of names the same across every document.
We arrange for a duplicate to be obtained or an archive search in the country of issue. For old records we check what is possible before the work starts and say honestly if there is no chance.
One BRIDGES GLOBAL coordinator: they hold the list, the deadlines, the order of the procedures and the contact with the partners in the countries. The client does not deal with the contractors directly.
The cost depends on the composition of the package, the countries, the number of applicants and the procedures required. Once the requirements are checked we send an itemised quote: obtaining, the apostille or legalisation, translation, certification, delivery.
The timing is set by the slowest document in the set: archive requests and consular legalisation take longer than an apostille. In planning we allow for the validity periods of the certificates so that they do not expire by the date of filing.
Before handover we check the composition against the requirements of the procedure, the spelling of names against the passport, the validity periods of the certificates and the form of certification. A mistake in one letter is a common reason for a refusal.
Yes, international courier delivery with a tracking number is a separate item in the project.
