Document Retrieval Services
Sometimes the hardest part is getting the document in the first place. ABC Translation obtains official documents from Australian registries and, through our international network, from registries abroad. We can then translate, notarise, apostille or legalise them, so you receive a document that is ready to use.
Australian documents we can help obtain
- Birth, death and marriage certificates from state and territory registries
- Australian Federal Police national police checks (with your consent)
- ASIC company extracts and business name records
- Certificates of Australian citizenship (application assistance)
- Court documents and university transcripts (with authorisation)
Overseas documents
- Civil status certificates from Europe, Asia and the Americas
- Police clearance certificates from other countries
- Company registry extracts from overseas registries
Every document is different, so we quote each request individually. Quotes are free and without obligation.
Frequently asked questions
Do you need my authorisation?
Yes. Most registries only release documents to the person named or an authorised representative. We tell you which consent form or ID is needed for each document.
Can you get a document from overseas?
In many countries, yes, through our international offices and partners. Send us the country and document type and we will confirm feasibility, timing and cost.
