Why Entrust Your Important Papers to Anyone Else?

Introducing Legalize Docs Considering moving to Ecuador? Already an expat?

Sooner or later you will find yourself needing to legalize important documents either sent to you overseas, or documents needed back in your home country.

Until now it has been very difficult and costly to obtain the necessary legalization you need especially when overseas. In many cases, to do so even requires expensive trips back home.

Introducing Legalize Docs

Faster, Easier Way to Legalize All Your Documents We founded Legalize Docs with one goal in mind: to give you peace of mind that your important papers are translated accurately and meet the proper legal requirements. Unlike other translation services, all our translations at Legalize Docs are reviewed by our in house legal staff for full compliance.

Why risk your important documents will be rejected by governmental and other entities? Have the confidence your translations are done correctly and meet all legal requirements. Call Legalized Docs for an appointment today! You’ll be glad you did.

Legalize Docs co-founder, Juliana Velez. Ready to help you with all your translation needs.
