Prepare your documents with confidence

A drone certificate, aircraft registration and pilot qualification are different records. Confirm the exact FAA-issued or other document requested; authentication does not authorize foreign flight operations.

Vehicle, aircraft and vessel records should be matched to the registered asset and the transaction where they will be used. A title, registration, ownership declaration and operating permission serve different purposes. The receiving registry or professional should confirm the record needed and any certification requirements before authentication.

Check that all pages, certification sheets and attachments are present. Keep the recipient’s written instructions and confirm where completed documents should be delivered. Timing is confirmed after document review and depends on preparation, the competent authority, translation and delivery.

Tell us the document, its issuer, destination country and intended use, and your deadline. We will review preparation, translation and delivery options before confirming an estimate and timing. Ask for instructions before mailing originals. Please mail with a tracking number.

Compare the asset identifier, registered owner, issuing office and transaction details across the paperwork.

Obtain the accepted official record from its custodian; a downloaded printout or ordinary photocopy may not be the required certified version.

Confirm whether release, transfer, lien or other supporting documents are requested and who must sign them.

Does an apostille transfer ownership or authorize operation abroad?

No. The receiving registry or authority handles ownership, registration and operating permission. Authentication establishes the origin of the relevant document signature or certification.

What should I confirm before requesting an estimate?

Provide the document, issuer, destination, intended use, number of copies and deadline. Include the recipient’s checklist if available. This allows preparation, certification, translation and delivery to be reviewed before a cost estimate is confirmed.
