What Is an Apostille?

An apostille is an official certificate that verifies the authenticity of a public document for use in another country. It confirms the validity of the signature, seal, and authority of the official who issued or notarized the document. Apostilles are accepted by countries that are members of the Hague Apostille Convention.

For documents issued by a U.S. state, the apostille is issued by that state's Secretary of State. For federal documents, such as FBI Background Checks or Certificates of Naturalization, the apostille is issued by the U.S. Department of State in Washington, D.C.

Professional Apostille Services Made Simple

Obtaining an apostille can be confusing, especially since every document type and destination country has its own requirements. Many documents must first be notarized, certified, or obtained as an official certified copy before they are eligible for apostille processing.

Our experienced team carefully reviews your documents, confirms the requirements, and handles the entire apostille process from start to finish. If your destination country does not accept apostilles, we can also assist with U.S. Department of State authentication and Embassy or Consulate legalization.

We process apostilles for documents issued in all 50 states as well as federal documents. Whether you need personal, educational, business, corporate, or immigration documents authenticated, we provide fast, secure, and reliable service with expedited processing options available for many document types.

Getting started is easy. Simply upload your documents or contact our team for a free document review, and we'll guide you through every step of the process.
