How and where can I get the legal service for certificate transalation and ligitimation?

Question

- I need to get the translation of my married certificate and my children birth certificates from Indonesia language to English and legitimate them.

- Or is it possible if we translate them by our own and then ask legal service to legitimate? If so which legal service can do that service?

Answer 1

Where do you currently reside?

If you are in Indonesia, just get any authorized institute (e.g. LIA) to do it for you.

If you are abroad, go to the Indonesia embassy, they have translation services.

No, you can't translate them your own. It's considered unauthorized.

Answer 2

in order to get this done, you must contact the Indonesian Embassy and it's consular services ;
