We handle the full apostille and authentication process, from document review to filing, for clients nationwide.
An apostille is a certificate that authenticates a public official's signature, such as a notary's, on a document, so it will be recognized internationally without further legalization. It applies specifically to documents being used in countries that are members of the Hague Apostille Convention.
If your destination country is not a Hague Convention member, your document needs authentication instead of an apostille. Authentication typically takes longer and may require additional country-specific steps. We handle both. Just let us know your destination country and we'll confirm which applies.
We guide your document through the entire apostille or authentication process: reviewing requirements, preparing forms, and filing with the appropriate state or federal office.
Includes:
Birth and Marriage Certificates (certified copies from vital records)
Diplomas and Transcripts
Powers of Attorney
Business Documents
Court Documents
Background Checks
Other Eligible Documents
For documents notarized in eligible states, we can complete the required notarization remotely. Ask us if yours qualifies.
Every request includes: secure document uploads, direct client communication, status updates, and document tracking from submission to delivery.
Is your document already notarized, or does it need to be notarized first?
If it needs notarization, where will that notarization take place, and by a notary commissioned in which state?
What country will the document be used in?
These answers determine whether your document is apostille - or authentication-eligible, and whether remote notarization is an option for it. Not every document notarized remotely can be apostilled. Eligibility depends on the notary's commissioning state, not where you live.
Tell us about your document, including whether it's already notarized and where.
Send your documents through our protected process.
We confirm eligibility, complete any required notarization, and file for your apostille or authentication.
Your completed, apostilled document is delivered electronically or by mail, depending on the service.
We process personal, educational, business, and legal documents nationwide.

An apostille is a certificate that authenticates a public official's signature (such as a notary) on a document, so it will be recognized in another country without further legalization. It applies to documents used in countries that are members of the Hague Apostille Convention.
If your destination country is a Hague Convention member, your document needs an apostille. If it isn't, it needs authentication instead, which typically takes longer and may require additional country-specific steps.
Sometimes. It depends on which state's notary performs the notarization, not on where you live. Only a small number of states currently allow apostilles for e-notarized documents. We'll confirm whether your document qualifies before scheduling anything.
No. What matters is which state's notary notarizes the document, since that determines which state's office can issue the apostille. We'll help you figure out the right path based on your specific situation.
We handle apostille and authentication filing nationwide. Notarization eligibility for remote sessions is more limited and depends on the specific state involved. We'll let you know what applies to your document.
Common examples include birth and marriage certificates, diplomas and transcripts, powers of attorney, background checks, corporate documents, and court records. Certified vital records (like birth certificates) should come from the issuing registrar's office. We can help confirm that if you're not sure.
Processing time depends on the type of apostille or authentication needed and current government office turnaround. Contact us for current estimated timelines.
Reach out and tell us about your document. We'll walk you through exactly what's needed before you commit to any service.

Remote online notarization is available regardless of your location. Apostille eligibility for remotely notarized documents depends on the notary's commissioning state. We'll confirm this with you before scheduling.
