Document Services

Streamline the immigration document process. 

Things are about to get complicated.  

As you embark on the immigration application process, there are numerous steps and procedures to grasp and execute in order to file your application successfully. In many countries, these include complex and extensive document requirements with fluctuating rules and strict timelines. Depending on the jurisdictions involved, this process can be lengthy and difficult to coordinate.  

It’s a lot to navigate alone and—if done incorrectly—document procurement, authentication and legalization can critically delay work permit and visa processes. 

Fragomen has an experienced team of immigration document services professionals on-the-ground worldwide who help our clients plot the optimal course to streamline the document process and keep applications on track.  

Here’s how: 

Strategic and proactive documentation planning.

The ability to produce the right documents at the right time can be critical to the success of your immigration process. We take a proactive approach by analyzing how document procurement and authentication could affect the timing of your immigration application. We leverage our deep knowledge of immigration procedures to make sure that crucial documents are available at the right time–and are not completed too soon (risking document expiration) or too late (potentially causing delays).

As today’s families embark on the immigration process, they often have documents—from birth certificates to marriage certificates to university degrees—that originate from multiple countries around the world. Our ability to identify and strategically avoid potential document-related complications before they occur greatly reduces the chance of application delays, especially when documents from several jurisdictions need to be obtained and coordinated. 

Expedited immigration document coordination by on-the-ground professionals.

We can help secure documents from government agencies and law enforcement authorities from a wide range of countries. Our dedicated document services teams are located around the world and understand the nuances of document requirements and challenges in each jurisdiction.

Our immigration document services include:

      • Obtaining vital records, academic records, criminal history reports for applicants and their family members
      • Obtaining or authenticating corporate documents, including powers of attorney, technical services agreements, certificates of good standing and incorporation certificates
      • Notarization of documents
      • Document legalization assistance
      • Translation services assistance, where required
      • Home-country registration assistance of births or marriages abroad, where available
      • Consular assistance with document procurement and legalization matters
      • Obtaining new passports and renewing old passports
      • Securing emergency travel documents
      • Attestation and counter legalization at government authorities
