## What is the intermediary’s role in attestation and legalization?
The La Fit Trans team is familiar with the sequence of attestations and legalization and coordinates the document, competent authority, translation and delivery. Clients communicate through one contact point instead of linking the participants in the procedure themselves.
The practical value lies in unified coordination. Instead of treating each step in isolation, the case is followed as a sequence: issuer and document type, country of use, applicable route, authentication, translation and final return.
## How is the correct document route identified?
The route depends on the issuer, document type, country and the institution where it will be presented. The [Bulgarian MFA general guidance](https://www.mfa.bg/bg/uslugi-patuvania/konsulski-uslugi/zaverki-legalizacia/obshta-informatsia) distinguishes Apostille, treaty-based treatment and full legalization, and assigns different document groups to different competent authorities.
La Fit Trans collects these facts at the start of the case and maps the applicable steps. This reduces the risk of translating too early, filing with the wrong authority or overlooking a requirement of the destination country.
## What is checked before the document is filed?
The preliminary review covers visible elements: issuer, signature and seal, original or acceptable copy, spelling of names, annexes and consistency across a document set. It also checks whether the service requires a form, power of attorney or proof of a paid public fee.
The review cannot replace a missing signature or amend content issued by another institution. A discrepancy is identified before filing so that it can be clarified with the issuer or recipient, rather than presented as a guaranteed acceptable document.
## Which administrative steps can be coordinated?
The [Bulgarian Ministry of Justice Apostille service](https://justice.government.bg/home/index/7fafeee0-4d6d-445e-8353-b18bd1c796d2) expressly provides for an application completed by the applicant or an intermediary. For other procedures, representation, payment and collection depend on the rules of the authority and any required power of attorney.
Within the permitted scope, La Fit Trans coordinates forms, filing, tracking and collection and, where needed, links them with an official translation and delivery. The current [MFA forms](https://www.mfa.bg/bg/uslugi-patuvania/konsulski-uslugi/zaverki-legalizacia/normativni-dokumenti-formuliari-zaverka-legalizacii) and the requirements of the specific authority remain decisive for each case.
## What is gained from one coordinated case?
One case file and one contact point keep copies, filing details, deadlines, translations and the chosen return method together. This limits repeated transmission of the same information between separate providers and authorities.
Coordination is particularly useful for a chain of authentications or a set of related documents. It does not shorten an authority’s official processing time, but it makes the sequence, current status and remaining actions clearer.
## Which decisions and requirements remain outside the intermediary service?
The [competent Bulgarian authorities](https://www.hcch.net/index.cfm?act=authorities.details&aid=312&oldlang=en) authenticate only documents within their scope. The foreign recipient decides whether the document is sufficiently current, whether it accepts a translation made in Bulgaria and whether its own procedure imposes an additional requirement.
An intermediary cannot promise a positive decision, replace a missing original or control a requirement changed after filing. Public fees, official processing times, consular checks and the need for a personal act or power of attorney are also set by the relevant institution.
## How does La Fit Trans define the scope of a specific service?
After reviewing a copy and the intended use, La Fit Trans describes the steps it can undertake: [Apostille](https://www.lafit-trans.com/en/apostille/) , another attestation, document legalization, translation, filing, collection or delivery. The quotation can separate public and consular fees from translation, intermediary and courier services.
Clients receive complete coordination with an initial consultation, a clear quotation, case tracking and a convenient return method. If a step must be completed in person or in the issuing country, it is identified during planning.
