What comes first... Translation or Apostile?

[JScanio]

Quick question...

Do I need to translate the documents first and them apostile them or apostile first and then translate?

Does the translation need to be apostiled?

Thanks in advance for your help!

The apostille is basically a certification of a legal document for international use. The translation can't be apostilled as it is not a legal document.

Just to add to what Debbie, said: Most people make a photocopy of their documents and then send the originals off for the apostilles. In the meantime, you can be working on the translations from the photocopies.
