MEA Apostille &
Certified Translation Guide
Under Austrian law, official documents submitted to consulates or immigration authorities must be translated to German by a court-certified translator (Beeidigter Übersetzer). Before translation, documents must obtain the official MEA (Ministry of External Affairs) Apostille in their country of origin. We handle both steps for you.
Official Court Stamps
Every page of the translation must feature the certified translator\'s seal, signature, and official certification statement.
Hague Apostille integration
We secure the Apostille stamp first and translate it fully as part of the legalised document packet.
