Frequently asked questions
What does an apostille authenticate?
An apostille authenticates the signature and the capacity in which the signer acted; it does not certify the document's content.
Apostille or legalization?
Hague Convention destinations generally use an apostille. Other destinations may require legalization through Colombia's Ministry of Foreign Affairs followed by consular steps.
Do both the source document and the translation need an apostille?
It depends on the receiving institution. Sometimes both are required and sometimes only one; confirm with them and tell us when you request your quote.
Are consular steps included?
No, unless they appear expressly in your written quote.
How long does it take?
It depends on how many documents you have and on the apostille. The delivery date appears in your quote.
Semántico provides translation services, not immigration or legal advice. Notarial signature acknowledgment is Semántico's internal operating standard, not a universal legal requirement.
