Frequently asked questions
Requirements for obtaining documents from the Czech Republic
The necessary requirements depend on the document you request and which registry or government office it comes from.
The first scenario involves obtaining documents from public registries in the Czech Republic. Public registries are accessible to anyone who requests information. This includes the Czech Trade Register (for legal entities), Business Register of Entrepreneurs, and Real Estate Cadastre. In these cases, we only need basic information about the person or entity you're inquiring about.
The second scenario is when we retrieve documents that contain personal information from restricted registries. These restricted registries only allow access to the individual or organization concerned, or a third party with a power of attorney. This category includes all papers from Czech registry offices and criminal record certificates from the Czech Republic. In such cases, we will need a power of attorney from the individual in question (or their relatives). The power of attorney can always be arranged – we have solutions for every situation.
Finally, the third situation is when we certify something directly from the person themselves, for example, a power of attorney or a copy of a personal document. In these rare cases, the person will need to be present in person, usually at a notary's office.
How quickly can documents be obtained from the Czech Republic?
Processing is generally quick; however, it depends on the document type and the registry it comes from.
For public registry documents that require no special authorization, we can usually get them very fast, typically within 1-2 business days. We always work as quickly as possible.
When procedure need a power of attorney, additional time will be needed to notarize and deliver it to the Czech Republic. The exact duration varies case by case – usually between 3-5 days, but sometimes up to 2-3 weeks. Contact us to discuss your specific situation, and we will be happy to assist.

Review: I needed to obtain a criminal record certificate with an apostille from the Czech Republic. Everything was done extremely quickly (considering the delivery times via Russian post (of course, you could use DHL, which would be much faster, or send it within Europe instead of Russia)). I'm a very meticulous person and tend to ask a lot of questions. With Arkadiy, all my questions were answered in full even before I had a chance to ask them. Everything was very clear, he was always available, very professional, respectful, polite, and any other positive adjectives you can think of. A huge thank you for your work!!!

Review: I contacted this company to obtain a duplicate of my late mother's marriage certificate and an apostille for it (a non-standard situation). Arkadiy provided clear and prompt answers to all my questions, was always available, and kept me informed at every step. The document was ready in the shortest possible time! I highly recommend working with this company!

Review: I contacted this company for assistance with legalizing a marriage certificate issued in Prague. Arkadiy promptly clarified what needed to be done for the document to be accepted by the migration authorities in China – we settled on obtaining an apostille. For the apostille process, I sent the original document to Prague, everything arrived without issues, and Arkadiy processed the apostille as quickly as possible before sending it back to me. The migration office accepted the document without any problems (I only needed to add a Chinese translation). I highly recommend this firm, the processing time was minimal, I checked other companies, and their estimated processing times were 2-3 times longer. Thank you so much for your help!
