Document retrieval in Almaty
Repeat birth, marriage and divorce certificates, archive records, criminal record certificates and education documents — obtained for you, at home or abroad.
We serve clients in Almaty (city of republican significance) online and by courier: send scans through the form, and if originals are needed, a courier collects and returns them.
Almaty is the country's largest city and business centre, with many consulates general, international companies and universities. Typical requests here are corporate document translation, powers of attorney for property deals, and apostilles on diplomas for study abroad.
Lost the original birth certificate? Need a marriage certificate from the city you left twenty years ago, or an archive record from Soviet times? Document retrieval means we request the document from the office that holds it and deliver it to you — ready to translate and legalize if needed.
In Kazakhstan we obtain repeat civil registry certificates, archive certificates, criminal record certificates and duplicates of education documents. Through ABC Translation's international offices we also request documents from other countries, which is especially useful if you now live in Kazakhstan and your records are abroad — or the other way around.
