- Client profile
- Student applying to study abroad · the institution deadline drives the timeline · Location: Tak Province
- Services used
- MFA consular legalisation + family law (marriage, divorce, children)
- Challenge
- The source document was in a third language and needed a double translation — the task was to make this set usable by the receiving authority in South Africa in the required format.
- What we did
- review each original document and produce a checklist of what to fix before filing
- have a second reviewer proofread the translation independently of the translator
- draft a power of attorney that covers every step to be handled on the client's behalf
- prepare the translation using the official names the authorities themselves use
- Outcome and indicative timeline
- the documents matched the format specified by the receiving authority · several working days, depending on the queue at the authority
- What mattered most to the client
- flexibility when the applicant is in another province or abroad
