In the context of globalization and increased mobility, the need to provide documents for foreign authorities or institutions is constantly increasing. However, it is also not uncommon for documents to be lost, damaged, or missing. Procuring documents on your own is not always the best solution, as this procedure usually requires personal attendance, involves bureaucratic difficulties and effort, and is time-consuming.
Schmidt & Schmidt offers the procurement of documents in over 140 countries worldwide. Several branch offices and a broad partner network enable us to receive the necessary documents quickly, efficiently, and at an attractive price, and to send them to any place in the world. We are also happy to take care of apostilles and consular legalization for you.

Civil status documents
We assist in obtaining all types of civil status documents, including birth, marriage, divorce, and death certificates, as well as documents related to adoption, guardianship, and family status. These records are frequently required for visa processing, citizenship applications, marriage abroad, inheritance procedures, and various legal matters. Whether the document is recent or archived, we handle all communication with civil registry offices and ensure that clients receive certified copies, extracts, or archived records in the correct official format.
Educational documents
Our company procures educational documents from schools, universities, colleges, and relevant governmental bodies. This includes diplomas, transcripts, academic certificates, verification letters, enrollment confirmations, and archived academic records. Such documents are often required for university admissions, international employment, professional qualification recognition, or academic transfers. We ensure accurate communication with educational institutions and secure official documents that meet the requirements of foreign authorities and organizations.Criminal record and background checks
We assist clients in obtaining official background documentation, including police clearance certificates, criminal record statements, and certificates of good conduct issued by law enforcement or migration authorities. These documents are essential for residency applications, work permits, visa processes, professional licensing, and other immigration-related matters. We manage every step of the procurement process and ensure that the final documents are issued in the correct and internationally acceptable format.Corporate and business documentation
For corporate clients, we facilitate the procurement of documents such as certificates of incorporation, commercial registry extracts, articles of association, tax certificates, notarized corporate records, and official company resolutions. These documents are often required for international transactions, compliance procedures, opening bank accounts abroad, establishing foreign branches, or conducting cross-border operations. We work directly with registration bodies and notarial offices to ensure accuracy, authenticity, and compliance with international standards.Archival and historical records
We work with national and private archives to obtain historical and archival documents, including old civil registry records, military service information, migration files, historical employment records, and documents required for citizenship by descent or genealogical research. These records often relate to previous generations and may require detailed searches, coordination with archivists, and proper certification. We ensure that all archival documents are retrieved, verified, and prepared for official use.Application for procurement of documents

You can fill out a special form on our website or send your request by email. Please let us know what document you need, what country it was issued in, how many copies you need, and what country you want it to be used in. If you have attached a copy or a photo of the old document to your request, this information will enable us to process your request as quickly as possible and send you the necessary information.

As soon as we receive your request, we will start work immediately. Schmidt & Schmidt takes on the procurement of documents from over 140 countries, each with different requirements for this procedure.

In most cases, a power of attorney is required to procure documents. The power of attorney does not contain anything superfluous, only the powers associated with the procurement of your document. We will send you a template to fill out.
We do the rest of the work for you. Our colleagues will address an inquiry to the responsible office and, if necessary, will be present in person to receive your documents. We have extensive experience in the procurement of documents and interacting with authorities, so we guarantee the speed and efficiency of our work.
