Most document problems do not come from the document itself. They come
from a missing step, the wrong certification or a form sent to the wrong
office. Those are exactly the problems a consulate deals with every day.
Experience From the Other Side of the Counter
For 15 years, our document specialist worked in a diplomatic and
consular office, helping individuals, families and businesses with
documents that had to be accepted in more than one country. That work
included:
- registering births, marriages, divorces and deaths that happened overseas
- citizenship registration for children born overseas
- recognition of foreign marriages and divorces
- Certificates of No Impediment and single status certificates
- passports and emergency travel documents
- authentication and legalisation of documents for foreign authorities
- documents for international adoption, estates and the repatriation of deceased persons
Fifteen years of being the office that checks whether a document is
right. Now that experience works for you.

What That Experience Means for You
Right the First Time
We check what the overseas organisation is asking for before anything
is sent, so you are not paying twice or waiting twice.
Steps in the Right Order
Notary, apostille or authentication, translation and courier happen in
the sequence the destination country expects.
Mistakes Caught Early
Outdated certificates, missing notarisation, copies where originals are
needed. We know what gets documents rejected.
One Contact
You deal with us. We deal with the government offices, notaries,
translators and couriers.
Across New Zealand and Overseas
We work with clients anywhere in New Zealand, and with New Zealanders
living overseas, by email, phone and courier. In Auckland, we can also
collect documents from you by appointment.
What we do not do
We handle the documents. We are not a law firm, Notary Public, Justice
of the Peace or licensed immigration adviser, and we do not give legal or
immigration advice. If your case needs a lawyer or a licensed immigration
adviser, we will tell you. Where a Notary Public is needed, we arrange the
appointment.
Your quote is one all-in price, including government fees and any
notary, translation or courier costs your document needs.
