Identifying which of your documents need a translation or a certified copy for your specific pathway, and which receiving body sets that rule.

How SGC can help
SGC identifies which documents in your file need translation or attestation and coordinates the process with you. SGC does not itself act as a certified translator or attestation authority.
What we cannot promise
SGC cannot guarantee translation or attestation turnaround times, acceptance by the receiving authority, or that a specific document will qualify for a simplified process. Confirm current requirements with the relevant embassy, consulate, or authority.
