Public documents issued by the authorities of Slovakia require an apostille or a higher verification – consular super-legalization. Higher verification is not required for the use of documents in the Czech Republic.
If you intend to leave Slovakia and move abroad or look for work there, you may need a translation of your Slovak government documents into a foreign language. In addition to official translation, we can also provide certification and verification of your documentation. The price for this service in each case is individual and depends, first of all, on your needs, the number of documents, checks and fees.
