Prepare your documents with confidence

For an athlete working abroad, separate contract paperwork, professional eligibility and immigration records. Ask which organization receives each document and whether it requires direct issuer verification.

A sports assignment can involve an employer, federation, immigration office and representative, each asking for different evidence. Separate professional or competition eligibility from visa paperwork and private contracts. Ask the responsible organization which records must be authenticated and whether the documents need to be sent directly by their issuer.

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.

Identify the recipient and purpose of each record: employment, competition registration, representation or travel.

Have the appropriate professional approve contract or authorization wording before signatures are completed.

Check names, minors’ representation where applicable, document age, translations and any required issuing-body certification.

Does an apostille establish eligibility for a team, league or visa?

No. The federation, league, employer or immigration authority makes that decision. Authentication helps establish the origin of a submitted document.

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.
