The office needs to be sure that the document can, in fact, be apostilled.
Therefore, the client must send a copy of the document to be apostilled or an access code.
A simple copy (photo) via WhatsApp is sufficient.
After analyzing the document, we will inform you of the cost of: office fees + fee charged by the Portuguese government.
The shipping cost (DHL) will only be calculated after the document has been apostilled.
Our term only starts when the amount reaches our bank account. Therefore, choose the fastest payment method.
Our commitment is to apostille the document within 48 business hours.
After apostille, we will provide DHL with a quote for shipping costs and estimated delivery times.
The customer will receive a tracking code to monitor all the progress of the shipment.
Of course, the time will vary depending on the customer's location.
The total cost of apostille includes: office fees + fee charged by the Portuguese government and the cost of sending the document to the client.
Therefore, the apostille service has a variable price, depending on the document and the client's address.
Shipping costs are calculated after the apostille is issued. This calculation takes into account the distance between the sender and the recipient, as well as the weight and delivery date. There may also be variations depending on the time of day the document is sent.
Our office only sends via DHL.
We have a reduced-price contract for shipping. Therefore, the customer will pay a lower price to receive the document.
Fees and fees should not be confused.
A fee is a charge made by the Portuguese government. It is a type of tax (popularly called a tax).
Fees are paid to the law firm/lawyer for the services provided. Therefore, it is the professional's remuneration.
It is not possible to apostille a copy of a document. We need to issue a duplicate and then apostille it. It is also possible to issue a copy with an access code. If you have an access code, please let the office know. In this case, we can print the document and apostille it.
The access code is used to issue documents. With the access code of a record or a criminal record, we can print a copy of the document and have it apostilled.
