The process and requirements for attestation of documents can vary in certain countries. You need to understand them and integrate the right methods for fast attestation. At BVS Global, we take the full responsibility for completing this process in the shortest time possible.
If you need your documents in The Philippines attested at the earliest, you should follow the right procedure to prevent unnecessary delays and rejection by the authorities. The process is defined by the laws and regulations applicable in a country. In the Philippines, you need to obtain certifications from various state authorities and get certain documents notarized before their legalization by the Embassy officials. This is a multistep process that should be completed within the stipulated timelines.

Our Frequently Asked Questions
BVS Global has years of experience in handling attestation of valuable certificates and documents legitimately, keeping in mind the security concerns and customer requirements.
Document attestation in the Philippines is often required when you need to use your documents in a foreign country for purposes such as employment, education, immigration, business transactions, or legal matters. It ensures that your documents are recognized and accepted by the authorities in the destination country.
Various types of documents may require attestation, including personal documents such as birth certificates, marriage certificates, educational certificates, and commercial documents such as invoices, contracts, and articles of association.
Legalization and apostille both serve the same purpose of authenticating documents for use in foreign countries. However, apostille is a simplified form of legalization that is recognized among countries that are part of the Hague Convention of 1961, whereas legalization involves a more extensive process for countries outside the Hague Convention.
The time required for document attestation can vary depending on factors such as the type of document, the country of issuance, and the specific requirements of the destination country. It is advisable to consult with a professional service provider for an accurate estimate of processing times.
While it is possible to handle document attestation on your own, it can be a complex and time-consuming process, especially if you are unfamiliar with the requirements and procedures involved. Working with a professional attestation service provider can streamline the process and ensure compliance with all necessary regulations.
