Online order for translation and legalisation
One request brings together the document, language pair, country of issue and authority where it will be presented. This allows the quotation to cover the appropriate translation, certification, Apostille or other applicable legalisation route.

A combined order covers more than the text to be translated. The team reviews the document’s origin, intended use and required certifications so that translation and administrative preparation follow the correct sequence. Customers send the complete document and details of the receiving authority to obtain a specific quotation.
## What should I send for the initial review?
The review requires readable images of every page, reverse side, stamp and annex. The order comment identifies the document type, source and target languages, issuer, country of issue, and the country and receiving authority before which the document will be presented.
## How is the correct legalisation route determined?
These details distinguish a certified translation from an Apostille and other forms of legalisation. The relevant factors include whether the document is public or private, where it was issued, where it will be used and what the receiving authority requires. La Fit Trans records the applicable translation and administrative steps in the individual quotation.
## Are scanned copies sufficient?
Scans will usually allow a preliminary assessment, but they do not replace an original or certified copy where the procedure requires one. A missing reverse side, annex, prior certification or statement of intended use is requested before the order is confirmed.
## What will the quotation include?
The quotation separates translation, certification and administrative handling and states the total price, deadline and arrangements for handing over and returning originals. After confirmation and payment, progress is followed in the account; completed electronic or paper documents are delivered online, at a selected office or by courier as agreed.
## Where do I start the combined order?
A new order is created through the available option in the customer account. Labels and the position of actions may change, so follow the screen shown at the time. If you do not have an account, start from the active online-order entry on the website.
## When must I provide the original?
Customers provide the original or a certified copy only when the selected certification, Apostille procedure or receiving authority requires it. The quotation should state at which stage and by which method it is needed. Customers do not send a valuable original before those arrangements are confirmed.
## What happens if I change the country, deadline or documents?
Report the change before work begins. A different destination country or authority, an additional page, another language or a shorter deadline may alter the route, price and turnaround. Customers confirm the revised quotation so the agreed result remains unambiguous.
## How will I receive the completed documents?
An electronic copy may be provided where applicable, while originals and certified paper copies are collected from an office or delivered by courier as agreed. Customers follow the current order status and the selected delivery arrangement in their customer account.
