About us
Prof Document Group is a UK document services company. We prepare, certify, legalise and translate the paperwork people need when their life spans two countries.
What we actually do
We handle four things: powers of attorney, certified translations, apostille and legalisation, and obtaining civil records from abroad. In practice most jobs combine several of them, which is exactly why they are hard to run yourself.
A power of attorney is drafted here, signed before a notary here, apostilled here, then translated - and each of those steps has to be done in the right order, by the right person, with the names matching across every page. Miss one and the document is refused at a counter two thousand miles away, with no explanation you can act on.
How we work
We start from the outcome, not the document. You tell us what has to happen - a flat sold, a child registered, a diploma recognised - and we work backwards to the paperwork that achieves it. That order matters: the single most common reason these jobs fail is a document that was correctly produced but was the wrong document.
Before anything begins you get the full chain in writing: which documents, which certifications, in what sequence, and what it costs. No stage starts without you knowing what the next one is.
Languages
We work in English, Ukrainian, Russian, Polish and Romanian. You describe your situation in your own language; we deal with the UK authorities in theirs, and with the receiving authority abroad in whatever it requires.
That is not a convenience feature. Most of the mistakes we are asked to correct began as a translation problem - a name transliterated one way in a passport and another in a certificate, and two documents that no longer describe the same person.
What we do not do
We are not an immigration adviser and we do not give immigration advice. If your matter needs a regulated immigration adviser or a solicitor, we will say so rather than take the work.
We also do not promise outcomes that belong to someone else. Whether a foreign registry accepts a document is the registry's decision; what we control is that the document arrives in the form they ask for, which is where almost all refusals are actually decided.
