Samoan documents for use in New Zealand
New Zealand is home to one of the largest Samoan communities abroad. Immigration, citizenship, marriage, study and family matters there regularly require certified English translations of Samoan documents — and Samoan documents with an apostille, as both countries are parties to the Apostille Convention.
If you no longer have the document, we can obtain it in Samoa. We then translate it with certification, add the apostille or legalization required in New Zealand and send the finished set to you by tracked courier.
Moving the other way? Documents issued in New Zealand for use in Samoa can be translated into English or Samoan and apostilled in New Zealand through our international network.
Every quote is free and individual — prices depend on the document, the language pair and your deadline.

Does my document need an apostille or embassy legalization?
If the destination country is a party to the Hague Apostille Convention, an apostille is usually enough. If it is not, consular or embassy legalization is needed instead. Tell us the destination country and we confirm the correct route before we start.
Can I get a Samoan apostille if I live overseas?
Yes. Many of our clients live in New Zealand, Australia or the United States. We handle the process in Samoa on your behalf and send you the finished documents by tracked courier.
Will my certified translation be accepted by immigration authorities?
Our certified translations are prepared to the format immigration authorities such as Immigration New Zealand, the Australian Department of Home Affairs or USCIS ask for: a complete and accurate translation with the translator's details and a signed statement of accuracy. Tell us where the translation will be submitted and we make sure the format matches.
