Apostille assistance
Tell us where the document was issued and where it will be used. You get an itemized quote — service fee, government fee and shipping — before paying.
Which office?
There's no single apostille office for every document. We work this out before we send a quote.
Birth and marriage certificates, court records, notarized documents. Usually the Secretary of State of the state that issued or notarized the document.
For example FBI background checks or other federal records. These go to the U.S. Department of State, not to a state office.
An apostille can only be issued in the country where the document was issued. We explain the options and what can be done in the U.S., such as a certified translation.
No original?
If you don’t have the certified copy yet, we order it and move it through only the steps the destination country actually needs.
A certified copy from the office that issued it, such as a birth or court record.
Only when the receiving country asks for it.
Sent to the right office for that document.
Tracked shipping to you or straight to where it needs to go.
We order certified copies you are entitled to, such as birth or court records, and pass them straight to the apostille step if you need one.
We find the office that apostilles your document for the country you need, prepare the request and track it.
Only countries that are party to the Hague Apostille Convention. For other countries a different process (legalization through an embassy) applies; we tell you which one fits.
Usually an original or a certified copy issued by the official office is required. A plain photocopy is generally not enough. We confirm the requirement for your document.
It depends on the issuing office and shipping. We give you an estimate with the quote and update you at each step.
