Service & Refund Policy

Understand how service confirmation, cancellation and refunds are handled before you proceed with a documentation service.

Last updated: 29 September 2026
This policy applies to documentation support services provided by Guideline General Service Company, operating as Guideline Group.

Before You Confirm a Service

Certificate attestation and related documentation requirements can vary depending on the document type, issuing country, destination and applicable authorities.

Before processing starts, Guideline Group may review the information provided and explain the service that can be offered.

Where applicable, customers will be informed of the service scope, estimated processing time and applicable charges before confirming the service.

1

Before Processing Starts

A customer may request cancellation before processing has started.

Where the Guideline Group service fee has already been paid and processing has not started, the service fee is eligible for refund.

2

After Processing Starts

Once processing has started, the Guideline Group service fee is non-refundable.

This is because work, staff time and processing activities will already have been committed to the customer's request.

Government, embassy, consular, courier, verification and other third-party charges are non-refundable once they have been paid or incurred.

When Processing Is Considered to Have Started

Processing is considered to have started once Guideline Group begins work on the confirmed service.

This may include:

  • Document review
  • Document preparation
  • Coordination with relevant service providers
  • Submission arrangements
  • Communication with relevant authorities or service providers
  • Another agreed processing activity connected with the customer's request

Important Service Conditions

Government and Third-Party Charges

Charges paid to government departments, embassies, consulates, verification providers, couriers or other external parties are non-refundable once paid or incurred. These charges are separate from Guideline Group's own service fee.

Rejection or Additional Requirements

Guideline Group cannot guarantee that an authority, embassy, consulate, educational institution or other third party will accept or approve a document. Where processing has started, rejection or an additional external requirement does not automatically make the Guideline Group service fee refundable.

Changes to Requirements

Government and authority requirements may change without prior notice. If a change affects an ongoing service, Guideline Group will explain the available information and any additional steps or charges that may apply.

Processing Delays

Processing times provided to customers are estimates unless otherwise specifically agreed in writing. Delays caused by government authorities, embassies, consulates, verification providers, couriers, public holidays or other third parties do not automatically qualify for a refund once processing has started.

Approved Refunds

Government, embassy, consular, courier, verification and other third-party charges already paid or incurred will be excluded from the refund.
