Consular legalization in Astana
Full legalization chain for countries that do not accept the apostille: notary, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, consulate — handled end to end.
We serve clients in Astana (city of republican significance, capital) online and by courier: send scans through the form, and if originals are needed, a courier collects and returns them.
Astana is the capital, home to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and almost all foreign embassies, so most consular legalization and embassy attestation for Kazakhstan physically happens here. We submit and collect documents at ministries and embassies on behalf of clients from every region.
Countries that are not parties to the Hague Apostille Convention — for example the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Kuwait, Egypt and Malaysia — accept foreign documents only after consular legalization. This is a chain of certifications: typically the document is notarized or certified, then authenticated by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Kazakhstan, then legalized by the consular section of the destination country's embassy.
Every consulate has its own rules on translations, fees, appointment systems and processing times, and these change. We track the current requirements, prepare the translation in the right language, and walk your document through each office.

Questions and answers
Do I need to come to an office in Astana?
No. Most of the work is done online. When originals are needed, they travel by courier, and interpreters can meet you in Astana.
How fast can documents be delivered to Astana?
Courier delivery within Kazakhstan usually takes one to three working days, depending on the route. Scans and PDFs are sent the same day they are ready.
How do I know whether I need an apostille or consular legalization?
It depends on the destination country. If it is a party to the Apostille Convention, an apostille is enough; if not, consular legalization is required. Check our country pages or simply tell us the country.

In most cases no. We submit and collect documents on your behalf. A few consulates require personal attendance for specific documents; we tell you in advance.
