What is an Apostille?
An “apostille” is a form of authentication issued to documents for use in countries that participate in the Hague Convention of 1961. An Apostille is issued as an attachment and will validate the authenticity of your document to the foreign entity to which you are required to present your document.
How Does One Acquire an Apostille for a Specific Document?
The Apostilling of legal documents can be a very difficult process. You will need to obtain an original, certified copy of the document you are required to Apostille. Once obtained, the original document will be sent to us. We will have to prepare & submit the document(s) to the appropriate agencies of the United States and/or State Governments. Our clients are always happy that we take care of this end of their Residency/Legal Status process. In many cases, multiple phone calls and follow-ups are necessary. We always keep you updated on our progress. We take care of all paperwork, mailing & postage and the final sending out of your Apostilled document to its final destination. Each document has its own nuances. We are familiar with all facets of this operation, being in the business for 15+ years.
We Proudly Serve all 50 States & Federal Agencies

Please Note:
We can only assist you with documents that originated from or were notarized within the United States or Canada. If your documents originated from another country, you will need to contact the proper authorities in that specific country.
If your documents are notarized, State Law requires your notary use the Full Notary Acknowledgment or your document may be rejected by the agency. A 'signed, dated & stamped only' procedure by your notary is not acceptable for international use. If your document is rejected due to a notary error, you will be charged an additional resubmitting fee (this is a state fee and not our fee).
The Full Notary Acknowledgment Form is specific to the state in which the document is being notarized. The notary will know what this is and what form he/she needs to use on your document(s).
Acquiring an Apostille can be very complicated. Don’t leave this procedure to non-professionals who do not fully understand the TOTAL & ENCOMPASSING Apostille process and the unique requirements of certain countries.
There is a very good chance that your paperwork could be rejected, costing you valuable time and money. Many of our business comes from clients who have tried it themselves and are so frustrated that they finally gave up!
If, for any reason, your document(s) cannot be Apostilled, we will promptly refund the full amount you paid us for the document(s), excluding the amount that we spent on postage fees..

Further Explanation Regarding an Apostille?
An Apostille is a form of authentication issued to documents for use in countries that are part of the Hague Convention of 1961. It's a simplified certification that verifies the legitimacy of a document, making it recognized internationally by other member countries.
The Hague Convention (Abolishing the Requirement of Legalization for Foreign Public Documents), also known as the "Apostille Convention," was established in 1961 to streamline the process of validating documents across borders. Before this agreement, getting a document recognized in a foreign country required a complex and lengthy process called legalization, involving multiple layers of authentication by various authorities.
With the Apostille Convention, a single Apostille certificate issued by the competent authority in the document's country of origin is sufficient to confirm its authenticity. The Apostille is attached to the document, and it verifies the origin of public documents like birth certificates, marriage licenses, academic diplomas, proof of funds, proof of pension, legal judgments, bank records, etc.
Countries that are part of the Hague Convention mutually accept this Apostille process, making international document recognition much easier.
By the way, in January of 2024, Canada finally signed into the Hague Convention and we are now able to Apostille documents for our Canadian clients.
Disclaimer: Please be advised that while we strictly comply with the laws, regulations and guidelines set forth by the proper agencies that assist with the Apostilling of documents throughout the United States, the final decision regarding the successful Apostilling of any document presented rests solely with them. All determinations and outcomes are at their discretion.
