Frequently asked questions
Which Argentine documents can you obtain for me?
Common requests include birth, marriage and death certificates, property deeds and registry reports, real estate appraisals, court records, tax filings, education records and certain religious or cemetery records.
Do U.S. documents need an apostille to be used in Argentina?
Generally, yes. Both countries are part of the Hague Apostille Convention, so U.S. public documents are usually apostilled by the relevant state authority and then translated into Spanish by an Argentine sworn translator.
Can Argentine documents be apostilled for use in the U.S.?
Yes. Argentine public documents can be apostilled by the Argentine authorities so they are accepted in the United States. We can request the document, obtain the apostille and send it to you.
Do I need to give you a power of attorney?
It depends on the document. Some records can be requested by any authorized representative, while others are only issued to the person concerned, a close relative or someone with a power of attorney. We tell you in advance what is needed.
How long does it take to get a document?
It varies by office, province and how old the record is. Recent records from digitized registries can be quick, while older or archived records may take longer. We give you an estimate before we start.
