Document retrieval in Bahrain and abroad

Need an official certificate from another country, or a replacement document? We request it from the issuing authority and can deliver it already translated and legalized.

Documents we obtain

Birth, marriage, divorce and death certificates, police clearance certificates, degree certificates and transcripts, company register extracts, certificates of good standing, court records and replacement certificates.

From many countries

Through ABC Translation's international network we request documents from authorities in Asia, Europe, the Middle East, Africa and the Americas, so you do not need to travel or appoint someone yourself.

Delivered ready to use

Combine retrieval with apostille, legalization and certified translation, and receive a document that is ready for submission in Bahrain or in a third country.

It depends on the country and the authority, from a few days to several weeks. We give you an estimate with your quote.
