Embassy & consulate legalization in Larnaca
Complete legalization for countries outside the Apostille Convention: ministry, embassy and consulate attestation handled for you.
Businesses and families in Larnaca rely on us when a document must travel to a country outside the apostille system: we handle the ministry and embassy stages so they do not have to.
Larnaca is home to the island's main international airport and is the first stop for many people relocating to Cyprus. We help newcomers with the certified translations, apostilles and certified copies that registration and residence procedures require.
Countries that are not party to the Apostille Convention, for example the United Arab Emirates and many states in the Middle East, Africa and Asia, require a multi-step legalization: certification by the issuing authority, then by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and finally by the embassy or consulate of the destination country. We manage every step and tell you the exact sequence before we start.
No need to travel or queue: send a scan through the form below and we will reply with a quote. When originals or an in-person signature are needed in Larnaca, we arrange courier collection or an appointment at a time that suits you.
We also serve Aradippou and the surrounding area.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need to visit an office in Larnaca?
No. Most requests are handled entirely online. If originals must be submitted or a signature certified, we arrange courier collection or an appointment in Larnaca.
Apostille or legalization: which one do I need?
If the destination country is party to the Apostille Convention, an apostille is enough. If not, the document needs consular legalization. Tell us the destination and we will confirm.
How long does legalization take?
It depends mainly on the embassy concerned and can range from a few days to several weeks. Your quote states a realistic timeframe for the specific country.
Can you legalize a foreign document for use in Cyprus?
Yes. Through offices and partners in the ABC Translation network we arrange legalization in the issuing country and then translate the document for Cypriot authorities.
