What Italy requires
Italian authorities often expect a sworn translation (traduzione asseverata) or a translation certified by the Italian consulate. We confirm which form your comune or prefettura accepts before we start.
How it works
Check eligibility
Send a scan. We confirm the document can be apostilled in Armenia and whether a translation is needed before or after the apostille.
Hand over the original
Drop it off in Yerevan, send it by courier or HayPost, or let us retrieve a new copy for you.
Submission to the Ministry
We submit the document to the Ministry of Justice of the Republic of Armenia and collect it once the apostille is issued — typically the next working day.
Translation and delivery
If required, we translate the document and the apostille, certify the translation and deliver everything in Armenia or abroad.
Documents we handle
- Civil status certificates: birth, marriage, divorce, death, name change
- Diplomas and academic transcripts
- Certificates of no criminal record
- Court decisions and certificates
- Notarial documents: powers of attorney, certified copies, notarised translations
- Company documents issued by the State Register

Frequently asked questions
Does Italy accept apostilles from Armenia?
Yes. Italy is a party to the 1961 Apostille Convention, so an apostille issued by the Armenian Ministry of Justice replaces any further legalization.
Into which language should documents for Italy be translated?
Usually into Italian. The office receiving your documents may require that the translation is done or certified in Italy; we confirm this before starting.
How long does it take to prepare documents for Italy?
An apostille is usually issued within one working day, and translation takes one to two days. Consular legalization depends on the consulate's own processing time; we give you a realistic estimate with the quote.
