Weight Is Not the Point
Embassy and Government Document Delivery
A file of attested papers weighs nothing and can be impossible to replace. Documents move on a different logic from freight: what matters is who held them, when, and whether they arrived before a deadline that somebody else set. This is a custody service rather than a transport one, and it sits alongside our embassy and consulate logistics rather than inside it.
What Moves This Way
Documents and Small Official Consignments
Small, urgent and consequential is the pattern.
- Attested and legalised documents
- Official correspondence between missions
- Visa and immigration paperwork
- Contracts and legal instruments
- Tender and procurement submissions
- Certificates and licences

Everything that matters about a document delivery is invisible in a freight quote.
Who held it, and when
A recorded chain of custody from collection to handover. For anything attested or legal, that record is the point of using a service at all.
Deadlines set elsewhere
Submission windows, court dates and visa appointments do not move. The delivery is planned backwards from them.
Irreplaceable originals
An attested original that is lost cannot be reprinted; it has to be re-obtained, which can take weeks. That risk sets the handling standard.
Handed to the right person
Delivery to a named recipient rather than a reception desk, because a document signed for by the wrong person has not really arrived.
Where documents follow a consignment
Original paperwork often has to reach a destination before or alongside the goods it describes. Where we are also moving the freight - see embassy and consulate logistics - the two are sequenced together rather than run as unrelated jobs.
Not the same as courier freight
Small parcels and samples move under ordinary transport arrangements. This service exists for papers whose value is legal rather than commercial, which is a different handling standard.
How It Is Run
Practical Handling
The service is mostly discipline rather than equipment.
-
Collected from the source
Picked up from the mission, ministry or office directly rather than requiring you to send it somewhere first.
-
Tracked to the handover
Custody recorded at each step, so at any point there is an answer to where the document is.
-
Coordinated with the wider move
Where documents accompany a consignment, timing is aligned with the freight rather than run separately.
Why Cannata
Small Consignments, Serious Consequences
General couriers optimise for volume. A document delivery is judged on whether one specific envelope reached one specific person in time.
Custody recorded
A documented chain from collection to named handover rather than a scan at a depot.
Planned to the deadline
Timing worked backwards from the submission window rather than a service-level average.
Our own people
Collection and delivery by our own staff, which is what makes the custody record meaningful.
