Translation and Lgalization

Documents Preparation

It is quite common for students to need various documents translated and legalized both before and after enrollment. 
  • Legalization refers to the process of certifying a document so that it is recognized as valid and authentic in a different country or jurisdiction. This often involves obtaining an official stamp or seal from the relevant authority, such as a government office or embassy.
  • Translation involves converting the text of a document from one language into another while maintaining its meaning and accuracy. This ensures that individuals who speak different languages can understand the content of the document.

We collaborate with certified translators and can assist you with this process!
