What Is Archival Document Search?
An archival search involves locating historical or previously issued documents held in Azerbaijani government archives, civil registry offices, educational institutions, or court systems. These documents can be used in legal, administrative, or personal processes both inside and outside Azerbaijan.
Once located, we request an official duplicate certificate, legalized or apostilled if required, and send it directly to you.
