Document retrieval

If you're outside Panama or don't have time for queues, we request the document on your behalf, apostille and translate it if needed, and send it to you.

We obtain certificates from the Electoral Tribunal (birth, marriage, death), company and property certificates from the Public Registry, police records, and academic records from Panamanian schools and universities.

For documents from other countries we use ABC Translation's international network: we request the document in the issuing country, apostille it there, and receive it in Panama already translated.

What's included

  • Birth, marriage and death certificates
  • Public Registry certificates (companies, foundations, real estate)
  • Police record certificates
  • University transcripts and degrees
  • Documents from other countries through our network

How it works

  1. Send your document. Through the form or by email, as a clear photo or scan. Tell us which country and procedure it is for.
  2. Get your quote. We confirm exactly what you need (translation, apostille, legalization), the price and the turnaround.
  3. We process it. We translate and obtain the stamps and signatures from notaries, ministries or consulates, keeping you updated.
  4. Delivery. Receive a signed PDF or the hard copy by courier, anywhere in Panama or abroad.

Every document is different, so we don't publish fixed rates. Send us your document and we reply with an exact price and turnaround, usually the same business day.

Documents from and for other countries

If the country is party to the Hague Convention, an apostille is enough. If not, consular legalization is required. We tell you the right route for each country.

Frequently asked questions

Can you get my certificate if I'm outside Panama?

Yes, in most cases with a signed authorization and a copy of your ID. Some documents require a power of attorney; we'll tell you which.

How long is a certificate valid for procedures?

Many institutions ask for certificates issued within the last 3 or 6 months. We confirm the required validity before requesting it.
