The Apostille Process: A Step-by-Step Guide
- Identify Your Document Type
Determine whether your document is eligible for an Apostille. Common documents include birth certificates, marriage certificates, educational transcripts, and business agreements.
- Notarization (If Required)
Some documents may need to be notarized before they can be apostilled. We offer notarization services to ensure your documents meet the required standards.
- Submit Your Documents
Provide the original or certified copy of the document along with any required forms. We’ll guide you on the exact requirements based on your document and destination country.
- Verification and Certification
The document is submitted to the appropriate state or federal agency. If it’s a state-issued document (e.g., birth certificates), it goes to the state’s Secretary of State. For federal documents, it’s handled by the U.S. Department of State.
- Apostille Seal Issuance
The designated authority reviews and authenticates the document, attaching the Apostille certificate (a formal seal of authentication).
- Document Delivery
Once the Apostille is issued, we ensure the document is returned to you promptly and securely, ready for international use.
