Document retrieval in Taiwan and abroad
We request household registration transcripts, police records, diplomas and company documents in Taiwan and abroad on your behalf.
Request a quote for Document retrievalMany legalization projects start with a document you do not have yet: a recent household registration transcript, a police criminal record certificate, a transcript from a university you left years ago, or a birth certificate from the country where you were born. Requesting these from outside the right office or country takes time and local knowledge.
With your signed authorization, we apply for Taiwanese documents at the competent offices, and through our international network we order certificates in many other countries. Once we have them, we can translate, notarize and legalize them in the same order, so you receive a document that is ready to use.
Every document is different, so we quote each request individually. Send us a scan and you will receive a fixed price.

Questions and answers
Can you obtain a document without my authorization?
No. Personal documents such as household registration transcripts or police records can only be requested by you or by someone you authorise in writing. We prepare the authorization for you to sign.
I have left Taiwan. Can I still get my police record certificate?
Usually yes. People who have lived in Taiwan can apply from abroad, and we can assist with the application and the subsequent authentication so that the certificate is accepted in your new country.
Can you retrieve documents from other countries?
Yes. Through our international offices and partners we order civil-status, education and criminal record documents in many countries, then deliver them to you in Taiwan.
