JuridConsult has helped me a lot. They work fast and professionally to legalize my diploma. The price was affordable, and, most importantly, they told me the price in advance, and there was no hidden price. They worked directly after the diploma arrived and helped me find the best shipment back to my country. I highly recommend Juridconsult for the legalization of your document.

Luis and his team deserve 5 starts! We found them through youtube when I was puzzled with all rules and regulations for my apostille for my birthcertificate which I needed very fast! His movies explained easily what it was, and what needed to be done. We decided to make use of his services, there are many providers but all of them request you sending your birth certificate across seas. I didnt feel comfortable with this but with Luis he accepted a photocopy and organized everything for us within 3 days! I was very amazed by the quickness and the updates from his side. The price was also the best price which I could find on the internet with the best service.

I needed to get a police clearance report (VOG) with apostille. The communication before the process started was very clear, and conducted in a friendly an efficient manner. After a very short verification that I filled the forms correctly, the process was underway. Everything proceeded as promised, and the document was delivered to me within a very reasonable period of time. I'm very thankful for the excellent service JuridConsult provided me with. I would certainly use their services in the future if needed.
