How we work with clients in Yerevan
Yerevan is where the work actually happens: the Ministry of Justice receives apostille applications, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs handles consular legalization, and most foreign embassies are here. We take your documents to each counter in person, so nothing waits in a queue for a courier.

How it works
Check the destination's chain
Every consulate has its own rules: which documents need a notarised translation, which language, and which fees. We confirm them for your country first.
Notarisation and translation
Where required, the document or its copy is notarised and translated into the destination language.
Ministry of Foreign Affairs
We submit the documents to the consular department of the Armenian Ministry of Foreign Affairs for legalization.
Consulate or embassy
We submit the file to the consulate or embassy of the destination country, pay the consular fee on your behalf and collect the legalized documents.
Which countries require consular legalization
Consular legalization is required for countries that have not joined the 1961 Apostille Convention, including the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Kuwait, Lebanon, Iran, Iraq, Egypt and Syria. Some of these, such as the UAE, also require a final attestation by their own foreign ministry after arrival.

Frequently asked questions
How long does consular legalization take?
It depends on the consulate. The Armenian Ministry step is usually quick; consulates range from a few days to several weeks. We give a realistic timeline with your quote.
Who pays the consular fees?
Consular and ministry fees are charged at cost and shown separately in your quote, so you see exactly what goes to the authorities.
Where do I hand over documents in Yerevan?
We agree a convenient handover point in central Yerevan when you request your quote, or send a city courier to collect the documents.
