6. Quick checklist before ordering a translation:
   ▪️ Is the document legible and clear?
   ▪️ Does the transliteration match your passport?
   ▪️ Is the apostille or legalization already in place (if required)?
   ▪️ Do you need notarization or sworn translation?

If you’re unsure — it's better to ask beforehand.
KLS managers will consult you and suggest the best option for your destination country and document type.
