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.

Frequently Asked Questions about Apostille Services

Find answers to common questions about U.S. document legalizations, state vs. federal authentication, and turnaround times.

An apostille is an official certificate that verifies the authenticity of a public document for use in another country. It confirms 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.
Yes. We obtain apostilles for documents issued in all 50 states, Washington, D.C., and U.S. federal agencies. No matter where your document was issued, our team can help determine the correct authentication process.
We process apostilles for many types of personal, educational, business, and government-issued documents, including birth certificates, marriage certificates, death certificates, diplomas, transcripts, powers of attorney, corporate documents, notarized documents, and FBI Background Checks. If you're unsure whether your document qualifies, our team will review it at no charge.
For State Apostilles, vital records (birth, marriage, death certificates) must be certified physical originals carrying the official registrar's seal. Photocopies or scans are not accepted by the state. FBI background checks can be submitted digitally if you have the original digital PDF report sent to you by the FBI or channeler. Other notarized documents must be certified physical originals.
Many documents must be notarized before they are eligible for an apostille. As a full-service notary office, iPride Notary, Fingerprinting & Apostilles can notarize your documents, verify they meet state requirements, and complete the apostille process for you.
State Apostilles are issued by individual Secretaries of State for documents signed by county clerks, registrars, or local notary publics (such as notarized contracts, school transcripts, or birth certificates). Federal Apostilles are issued by the U.S. Department of State in Washington D.C. for documents signed by federal officers (like FBI background checks, FDA certificates, or USDA clearances).
Absolutely. We specialize in federal apostille services for FBI Identity History Summary Checks, Certificates of Naturalization, federal court documents, and other records issued by U.S. federal agencies. These documents are authenticated through the U.S. Department of State.
The answer depends on the country where your documents will be used. If the destination country is a member of the Hague Apostille Convention, you'll typically need an apostille. If it is not, your documents may require U.S. Department of State authentication and Embassy or Consulate legalization (Embassy Legalization involves notarization, state certification, U.S. Department of State authentication, and final legalization at the foreign country's consulate/embassy). iPride can manage this entire process for you.
The cost varies based on the document type, the issuing state, the destination country, and the level of service you choose. We provide transparent pricing with no hidden fees, and you'll receive a final quote before processing begins.
Processing times vary depending on the issuing authority and service level. We offer expedited options for many states, including same-day, next-business-day, and standard processing. State-issued documents (like Nevada birth certificates or notarized powers of attorney) can be completed in as fast as 1-2 business days. Federal apostilles processed through the U.S. Department of State typically require additional time (standard processing takes 8-14 weeks, or around 16 days via expedited service).
Yes. You can submit your request online from anywhere in the United States. Simply complete our order form, upload your documents if applicable, or mail the originals to our office. We'll handle the authentication process from start to finish and return your documents securely.
At iPride Notary, Fingerprinting & Apostilles, we make international document authentication simple. Our experienced team handles everything from document review and notarization to state apostilles, federal authentication, and embassy legalization. With fast turnaround times, nationwide service, and exceptional customer support, we're committed to making the process as easy and stress-free as possible.
Yes. In many jurisdictions, vital records (such as birth, marriage, or death certificates) must be certified copies issued within a specific timeframe (often within the last 1 to 5 years, depending on the state and destination country). Old, photocopied, or laminated certificates are generally rejected by government offices. We can assist you in retrieving a fresh certified copy if needed.
A notary public certifies the identity of the person signing a document to prevent fraud. An apostille is a state or federal certificate that authenticates the notary public's signature, seal, and authority, allowing the notarized document to be legally recognized in another country.
Yes! We offer professional translation services. When presenting a document to a foreign country that does not speak English, the translation itself must often be notarized with a translator's affidavit and then apostilled alongside the original document. iPride can manage the entire translation, notarization, and apostille sequence.
