How Official Document Retrieval works in Iceland
Official Document Retrieval lets residents, businesses and expats order certified originals of records held by public authorities in Iceland entirely online, in English, Icelandic or any other language. Our local runners file the request with the correct registry, archive, court or ministry, collect the certified original once issued by District Commissioner (Sýslumaður) (Sýslumaðurinn), and courier it worldwide with tracking.
Notary7 retrieves every type of official record issued in Iceland — civil, academic, court, police, corporate, tax and land and can bundle sworn translation, notarization, Hague Apostille or embassy legalization to the same order so the retrieved document is ready to be used both inside Iceland and abroad. In Iceland, the District Commissioner (Sýslumaður) is typically responsible for notarization and certain document authentications. For documents destined for international use, further authentication such as an apostille from the Ministry for Foreign Affairs may be required, if Iceland is part of the Hague Apostille Convention. Our service ensures that your retrieved documents are correctly processed for acceptance within Iceland and for cross-border use, adhering to all local formalities.
