Document Retrieval in Uganda
We obtain official documents on your behalf from Ugandan and foreign registries: civil records, academic records, company records and police certificates.
Living abroad, or simply short on time? ABC Translation can request and collect official documents for you: new or replacement birth and marriage certificates, academic transcripts and verification letters, company extracts, and police clearance certificates. Once retrieved, we can translate, certify and legalize them in one workflow and courier them to you anywhere in the world.

Usually a copy of your ID or passport, the details of the record (names, dates, place of registration) and a signed authorisation. Some registries also require fingerprints or an in-person step; we will tell you in advance.
