Apostled & Translated: Which comes first?

1 year ago

For documents that must be apostilled and translated: which comes first? The translation or the apostille? More generally: does the translation itself need to be aposilled?

I'm reading though guides on how to prepare documents to apply for a residency visa, and I've read that a lot of these documents need to be notarized, apostilled, and translated. But many of these guides neglect to say: what's the order of these?

For example, do I translate them first, then take them to the notary, then get it aposilled?

Or do I get it notarized first, then take it to get apostilled, then get it translated?

Or is the notary unnecessary if getting aposilled? And I only need to translate first then get apostilled? Or get apostilled first then translated?
