I used the services of Schmidt & Schmidt OHG because I needed a new version of a personal document and an apostille stamp. I paid almost 600 EUR, which is rather pricy, but still much cheaper than the alternative (going to the country and arrange everything myself). The whole process from initial contact to receiving the final product took about 3 months, which I think is reasonable and there were no unnecessary delays. The communication with Valeria, my contact person was always good, clear and with fast responses. My involvement was going to the embassy and arrange a power of attorney, after this Schmidt took care of the rest. I recommend this service to anyone who wants to save themselves the costs of traveling and outsourcing most steps of this process. Many thanks to Valeria and the team for helping out, I appreciate it!

In the beginning i though that it was not a legit company for the amount of scams outthere, after checking reviews and feedback, we decided to go for it.

Working to get and appostille, after traveling to two different countries to be able to get one for our process, after periods of frustration and almost quitting.

Schmidt & Schmidt appears as a real blessing. They manage to work on our request in a decent time period, we receive our documents intact.

I will recommend them 100% and we will their service for any other process that we might need in the future.

Frequently asked question about Legalization and Apostille

1. What is legalization of documents and what is it needed for?

Legalization of a document is a process, which allows to legitimate the document issued in one country for its usage in another. It means, if you want to submit a document, issued in one country, to authorities in a target country, the document must primarily prove its authenticity. Legalization confirms the authority of the issuing official as well as an authenticity of his signature and seal. Legalization is needed for official non-commercial documents.

2. How can the document be legalized for another country?

There are following procedures of legalization of documents:
  • Consular legalization
  • Apostille (a simplified procedure of legalization)
  • Legalization of documents by the Chamber of Commerce and Industry
Consular legalization applies to countries, that have not signed the Hague Convention of 1961, which implemented a law about the procedure of apostille (a lot of European countries are member states of this convention). Legalization of documents through the Chamber of Commerce is carried out in relation to commercial documents (contracts, invoices etc).

3. Is the legalization of the document always required?

No, not always. In some cases, countries can make bi- or multilateral agreements that completely revoke legalization of documents for their recognition in the member countries. For example, a CIEC convention from 1976 or bilateral treaties between Germany and Belgium, Denmark, France, Greece, Italy, Luxemburg, Austria and Switzerland.
