What do you need help with?

Select the situation closest to yours.

A Power of Attorney for Argentina

We review what the representative needs to do and where you will sign. The intended transaction determines the powers and formalities to address.

An Argentine document for use abroad

Tell us the destination country and the receiving institution. We review the document type and the authentication steps relevant to its intended use.

A foreign document for Argentina

We examine the document and the receiving authority’s request to identify authentication and translation questions.

A notarized signature or copy

We clarify what the recipient actually requires before coordinating the appropriate notarial work.

The process

How we help you move forward

  1. Confirm the intended use

    We identify the receiving country, institution, transaction and requested document format.

  2. Review or prepare the document

    We assess the wording and available originals, and coordinate drafting where needed.

  3. Coordinate signing and authentication

    We organize the applicable notarial and apostille or legalization steps with the professionals and authorities involved.

  4. Check the delivery requirements

    We review whether the recipient needs originals, digital documents or translation and plan the handover accordingly.

Notarization, apostille and translation serve different purposes

The recipient may require more than one step. We help distinguish the document’s wording, its authentication and any translation needed for the intended use.

Frequently asked questions

Does an apostille confirm that the document achieves my legal objective?

Authentication and the document’s legal effect are different questions. We review the intended use and wording as well as the formalities.

Can every document be handled online?

That depends on the document, signature and authority involved. We first check whether the available document and process support digital handling.

Can you prepare a Power of Attorney for a property transaction?

We review the transaction and the powers required, coordinating the document with the professionals who will use it.

Will I need a translation?

The receiving country or authority and the document language determine what needs to be checked. Translation is assessed alongside authentication.
